if you read through my whole thread on this spec you will find all you need to know, from the moment i recieved my queen to present day, it might seem a tediouse task reading through the full thread, but its the best way to find the answeres you need.

good luck :wink:

Hard to say form the picture but it seems like a small setup. These are rather big ants so you may consider giving them a bigger farm and nest area.

I just got them this morning the queen is massive and she came with 3 workers and some larve.

Lewis: Re: I just bought Camponotus cruentatus (19. Feb 2010 12:26)

cool
have you put them in yet because you should probobly leave them until they have around 10 workers just try keep them some where nice and warm around 27-30 C but when you do put them in it may be a good idear to get a lizard hydrometer from pets at home or any good pet shop.
i picked one up yesterday for about £3 and it i well worth having one for these. i think maybe thats why mine did not do so well as i was not controlling the humidity so for the next ants i get which are mederterainian i want to get i t as good as possible

The queen died last night for no reason

To bad. That just happens, nothing much you can do about it. I hope you have better luck next time.
