your not going to get very far moving them around all the time but if you don't get any were you could use pupae from another messor colony

jartok: Re: temp regulating (3. Feb 2009 16:16)

i wont be moving her anymore and i have no messor pupae to get a hold of unfortunally

As long as she is left alone then she will be fine :)

jartok: Re: temp regulating (3. Feb 2009 17:22)

yep only time she will be moved is about 3metres to the side when glass being put in then in there perm but ill hold that off till she as some workers now and hope the plastic box can hold em till then. ive got the temps ok now whats ideal temp to keep her at in ur opinions ?>

i have the thermostat in the soil, with the heat mat underneath, my messor queen is in a test tube buried in a basin,
so in my view soil temp = queen temp

.... and yes it took a while but she has laid eggs, i check on her once a month at the most (just to make sure she is alive)
... now i plan on not checking on her for 3 months now that i know she is laying eggs :)

well once i get the glass i can put sand in and her tube straight into that and i shoul get same shes just in plastic tub now on the heat mat and sits at 26.5c only prob is i cant provide a cooler area at the moment as other ants are in way till glass done but then gin the cooler area will be like 2c why i kept it at 26 and no higher just to make sure she dont go to hot
