Ok thought id share with you guys a nice pic of my new queen and she really is lovely 2 big larvae and 6 eggs :D i'll keep you all posted on how she does.
Thanks to Skippy for a lovely queen.. i owe you a beer dude ;)
Looks great Steve, i keep these ants myself also, they are lovely.
nice queen Steve :) ... larvae looks good and her gaster is optimal. I keep these queens in simple or double chamber in ytong. There larvae easier grow into cocoon ;)
Not a bad idea Skippy, ive got a spare ytong in my shed.. might have to break some off and make a small nest :D Just wondering but am i right in saying they like the nest dry.. as she is nowhere near the cottom wool water end.. she stays in the dry middle???
you know , I´ll show you how I have it ... in dry nest chamber , but she need to drink every 2-3 day to full ;)

They like it dry but not completely, try to keep it a little bit moist.
Skippy how do you transfer them after they have workers ?
there in corner of chambers are small holes ... you can see it on last picture , holes are covered until colony has first workers ... then I´ll uncover holes , and they can move into tube , or bigger ytong nest
jimmy: yes they like a bit moist ... I have not them only in dry ;) ... you must make wet that ytong sometimes
Just thought id give you guys an update.. She now has her first cocoon so wil have a nice new worker very soon :D soz the pics aint focused that good.
Yep, your going to receive your first worker soon. ;)
Looks like she is doing great, lot of brood there.
