Layla: searching for (25. Sep 2005 18:26)

Hello.
Where I work we are looking for a small colony of Leaf cutter ants with a Queen. I think the latin name is Atta rodona?
Can anyone help?

Hello Layla, wellcome to our forums.

It's very difficult to get an atta-colony. The mushroom of the atta ants is very sensible and the shipping from Germany to Britain is very stressful and dangerous. The only chance is, to buy a colony in Britain.

But are you experienced in keeping ants? Atta-ants need a high air-humidity and special levaes to build up the mushroom...

greetings Martin :D

Hiya. No i havent kept ants before. Tarantulas are my thing I am afraid. Its for my Boss. Can you reccomend a better ant colony that would look equally good as a display? That would be ok for begginers and look great?! :D

Thnx for the quick reply
