Hmm... 3 month is a long time, would getting Pheidole pallidula really be such a bad thing? is there anything you could tell me about them?
The big problem is that they a very very small as I already told you before.
I personally wouldn´t recommend you Pheidole pallidula as your first ants, they require a bunch of knowledge if you want to keep them successfully.
I see... do they need certain temperatures? what kind of care do they require?
Long said short: they are very small and agressive expandors,
that means, that they may escape fast and then you have a pest ant in your home;
that may include following costs very high -
starting with ants native to your country may prevent you from such dangers!
And you simply have to learn to wait,
if you want to keep ants suczessfully!
Are there any other southern European ants that i could purchase?
Of course, for example Camponotus ants.
They are big and easy to keep but they grow at the beginning very slowly.
Maybe not the best thing if you are new to ants and want to see much action.
nah, Lasuis niger is diffinately that best ones to get for a beginner. theyre nice and easy to keep.wen i got my firsts ones from antstore, it was in february, they were fine.
alternatively, you could wait until the summer to collect a queen-its much cheaper, obviously, but you then have to wait a while to get a colony. L niger queens are quite easy to find!
hi, could you suggest for the begginers do not hibernate ant type ?
