I guess unfortunately then would be she is infertile, but still keep her! Their is always a chance that she's is fertile!Yestordsd287 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 6:50 pmI have not touched the test tube. In fact i thought if i should turn it 180 degrees for her to get the brood... also im totally sure i didnt turn it because she has a small path of dirt on the floor of the test tubeAquaexploder wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 6:45 pmBest case scenario: you may have accidentally turned the test tube 180 degrees when you picked her up which made the queen quickly run down to the bottom to level herself. This made it apear that she laid brood on the ceiling, and also might scatter the brood in the process (I accidentally do this a lot). Worst case scenario: If her eggs are truly as spread out as you say they are she may be infertile.

Re: Larvae on ceiling. Normal???
But do infertile queens get larvae??? When i saw her grab the ones that were on the walls, the larvae moved. Also she only keeps the eggs in one pile.Aquaexploder wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 6:55 pmI guess unfortunately then would be she is infertile, but still keep her!

Re: Larvae on ceiling. Normal???
Could her outworld affect her? She has a dirt set up that i keep in a small container. She lives inside a test tube that has dark paper covering it. I put it near a window to get sunlinght and warmth, but i keep her at a good distance under the glass so she wont get cooked. The average temperature of where i live right now varies from 20 - 25 degrees celcius. Should i move her outworld to a dark and warm spot and feed her like 1 a week or should i keep it the way it is? Also the container usually has the lid off so i can observe whenever i want her roam the outworld. Also i have no air conditioning in my house.

Re: Larvae on ceiling. Normal???
Ok well than it sounds like you have a perfectly normal queen. But this still leaves the question why are her larvae are on the ceiling. My only explanation was what I said before so I'll wait for someone else more experienced to answer that question.

I checked on her again later and the larvae changed places. It was hanging from a different spot.Aquaexploder wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2017 5:53 amOk well than it sounds like you have a perfectly normal queen.
