Thanks for the reply!

Where I live, yesterday and today the temperature is 20 to 25ºC (in the morning). The coldest we get in the winter is around 5ºC, and that is very cold to us. I live next to the sea, so the temperatures are warmer. The only way to put them on that kind of cold is in the refrigerator (I don't think my girlfriend will like this option :grin: ).

This week I'll start to build my formicarium and then ask for help in the forum.

Thanks for the advice!

Are you still active?
Do you have tips for starting a colony with a queen and 4 workers?

Small nest, slice of mealworm (so they can access the flesh) and for small colonies do not disturb the nest much, the queen may eat her eggs/larvae. Hope this helps!!
:)
She still keeps eating her brood. Even if I do not disturb her for 2 weeks.

I have two queens and both keep eating their brood.
Both have only have one worker.

Well I don't know what you are doing wrong. Mine has two pupae, one large larva, a ton of eggs and some freshly hatched infant larvae. Post a pic.

Hello everyone. :lol: It’s been years right, yeah I know..... sadly I lost my queen some years back, and then the colony slowly died off.... it’s been so long I hardly recall the events.... it was such a blow, I couldn’t face starting from scratch..... :cry:

But my enthusiasm to start again in the hobby sparked, after watching my own vids on my YouTube page..... :grin:

I’m waiting for a Messor Barbarus red headed queen and brood with a few workers to arrive.... :shock: The notion of them harvesting seeds fascinates me, yeah I know they are somewhat ‘commonly’ kept, but......

I’m excited muchly. =D>

darradar: Re: Camponotus cruentatus. (27. Jul 2019 17:24)

So it seems I’ve gone full circle and got myself another Cruentatus Queen with eggs and brood...
I have also on the way a Camponotus Turkestanus queen who arrives next week...
I shall begin a journal on that spec when she’s here...
meanwhile I’ve familiarised myself with my own diary here so here are some pix of my CC Queen to start my second colony off....

Boniface66: Re: Camponotus cruentatus. (23. Aug 2019 11:43)

wow i gave them the honey, and one of the workers emeidietly fed some to the queen, i find it just fascinating, how they tend to her.... i'l try sort some picks.
I decided not to attach the antfarm part, as im gonna fix up a ytong at the weekend, and there really doesnt look like there's enough room inside the antfarm for the queen to turn around, I guess they will be happy in the small arena for a week or so, till i sort a more permanant home.
So you suggested adding more water, i shall do that first thing in the morning, i thought they had water at the other side of the test tube.?
And yes, i do love them already, i think more than any other of my tarantula's, they are sure to become my favourite. :thumright:
From what i have manged to work out on the foriegn web sights, that have a translation option, it seems like these particular species, do not seem to like damp areas within there nest. As the web sights rachat de credit meilleur taux are in german, and you have become most frindly, i wanderd if you could take a look for me, i simlpy typed Camponotus cruentatus in the search engine and up they popped, lots of references, mostly in german.... :sad01:

thanks
