Solenopsis invicta egg to nantic time

[larynx]

Ok so I currently have a 18-20 queens in the colony founding process so it has been about a week since I joined them together and so far none have died but I was wondering how long it took from egg to nanitic with a large amount of queens. Thx in advance!!!

With multiple queens of S. invicta, you may see eggs turn to workers within 3 weeks. I've had some produce pretty quick when there is more than one queen present. With that being said ive had very, very, few of these multiple queen setups go too far after nanitics arrive without killing one or all the other queens.

Mine went in under a month also with only single queens in tubes.

My single queen laid her eggs on May 15 and had her nantics on June 21. Mine took long because they are kept at room temperature. Just know that sometimes they can take up to over a month, temperature affects their growth rate a lot!

Yea I added a heater cord sometime after the eggs first appeared. Mostly cause I keep the house at 70-72 max.
