Re: New to ants!
I think I just caught a queen and I posted a topic on it. Would Vaseline work to keep this queen in her formicarium?
Re: New to ants!
Nope just baby oil.ive tryed Vaseline and petroleum jelly before. Some of the smaller species can walk through that thick stuff. So I just applied one coat of baby oil a week with my finger. I have Let It Go for 2 weeks before with no escapes. But I'm not going to push it I still cry once a week. Which is about the same time to clean out world also feed and water my colony. Also it looks better to have at least a clear looking oil then a gummed up jelly strip going along the top of the outworld.

Yes Vaseline might work. But I've never kept camponotus before I'm going to try it this year. Is worth a try. How do you think I found out baby oil works,smells and looks better. I had to experimentLeoTheAnt wrote:I think I just caught a queen and I posted a topic on it. Would Vaseline work to keep this queen in her formicarium?
Re: New to ants!
Oh I forgot to mention. While I conduct these experiments I had my own world and formicarium in a moat(surrounded on all side by water). Just like Castle's did in the medieval days . Cuz trust me I have had failed attempts at stuff. Everyone does it happens to the best of us
