I really appreciate the input, everything should be fine than. Definitely not making any illegal moves and can make sure to dampen the vibrations to prevent issues.
This helps put me at ease and get back to trying to find my first queen!

Moving Colonies
Hello, I'm a new ant keeper, this season will be my first and I have not yet gotten any queens. But I wanted to prepare ahead because this is the season here in the states. My concern is that I will be moving within the next few months(I'm making sure not to move somewhere that won't let me keep the...

Re: Pleasant surprise on work trip
The image does not work. Try using google photos or imgur. If you live outside of Florida do not take it home. In the US taking reproductive ants (queens and males) across state borders is illegal.

Re: Pleasant surprise on work trip
I just figured I'd share my joy. For work purposes I'm visiting Florida and the absolute first thing I see when I get out of the rental care to go check in at my hotel is this little lady.

Re: Monomorium Minimum air and hydration holes advice
Just an update. I went with 3mm holes(I just happen to only have metric atm) and stuffed them with cotton. It seems to be going well. We have suffered a bit of a mold outbreak, the white fuzzy kind, which is a bit nerve wracking. I had given them a bit of wet cat food as an interim protein source, a...

Re: Monomorium Minimum air and hydration holes advice
Hello, I'm a brand new ant keeper who's been following the channel on youtube for a few years now. I'm in the northern hemisphere so I'm excited for the nuptial season to be starting up, and have been doing some looking around to see what kinds of ants are in my area. As part of this I've stumbled ...
