Hi! I was wondering is there anywhere to buy ants in Oklahoma, there is not GAN farmers, so should I just wait and see if anyone signs up? Thanks! Hey, so after my first Queen I caught a few months ago, I got a second ant. I might be willing to sell them after the grow up a little bit. I'm not sure...

Ok so she really doesn't want to move, she has been there for 24 hours and still has not moved. I tried to shake her out of the old test tube but she is clinging to the cotton. I'm really worried that I am bothering her too much, is it ok if I just attach another test tube of fresh water for her?

Oh ok... I guess I'm freaking out over this a little more than I should. She started moving now and exploring the other tube. Should I be worried about her moving her eggs just into the dark part and not actually into the new tube?

She has been exposed to the light for about an hour, maybe 45 minutes. I also made sure to cover the new test tube so it is very dark. Is it ok if she kind of falls to the other test tube? or should I try to coax her with a stick?

Thank you very much for replying. How long should I let her sit here to see if she moves on her own? If it does come down to me physically moving her, how do I carefully move her eggs?

Hello, so I have a Queen Camponotus ant and she has laid about 15 eggs but her water has a green film in it. I prepared a new test tube set up for her but she doesn't seem to want to move into the good one. I have her under light on my desk where the light is brightest. Will she move at all? Is ther...

So, right now I have my queen in a test tube in my room. My room is air conditioned so I need a way to keep her warm in my room. Does anyone know a better option than putting a heating pad close to them? I just have her in a cardboard box with the heating pad outside the box.

Hey, so I'm pretty new too this whole thing too. I live in Stillwater. I just wanted to say a few things coming from a person who just caught their first queen ant a few days ago. 1) The queen ants look like queen ants. As in, they are BIG, compared to other ants. They will either have wings on them...
