Sounds good.
@TheRealAntMan I didn't know that. Well in that case I won't feed them cherryseeds anymore then. :/

Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Re: Pogonomyrmex occidentalis Setup
Congratulations on the founding of your colony of the pogonomyrmex species. Here is a piece of useful advice. Pogonomyrmex have a very distinct sting that can be very painful so make sure to wear gloves. You probably already knew that but I wanted to say it just in case.
As always, wishing you well on your exciting ant adventure, Ants the Lowcountry.

Yeah, having lived around their mounds for several years I've been made aware of their aggressive behavior on more than one occasion.antsofthelowcountry wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 1:21 pmCongratulations on the founding of your colony of the pogonomyrmex species.

Re: Pogonomyrmex occidentalis Setup
Crazy how wierd it is to see how some of my views were in the last. Especially in regards to what seeds I should try. I mean, Mango? Cherry? Oh boy was I wrong and didn't know it at the time. ^^
Little uneducated me. xD
