Wanting to start
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2016 4:00 pm
Hello guys, I saw a LOT of videos from AntsCanada on youtube and i'm really exited about ant keeping. I live in Brazil, I study most part of the day, but I love ants. I've been asking myself if I can really have an ant colony, even a really small one, but I can't answer this question, because I don't know exactly what will I have to do to start it and then keep it, watching the videos everything seems to be easy.
Some questions:
1-If someone can tell me, I would like to know the part of the year that I can catch queens here in South America.
2-I see a lot of this type of ant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atta_cephalotes, and I've already seen before knowing about ant keeping a lot of queens of them. I wan't to know if this is a good specie of ant for a beginner.
3-I would like to know if this formicarium: http://www.AntsCanada.com/shop/lasius-h ... est-small/ is good for a beginner, or would be better to craft one.
Thanks.
