Oh, but I have a lamp there light on them, so they will not freez. (:

not recommended as lasius niger ain't mediterranean ants and they could end up dyeing

no do not put it over 30C I dont think you should put it on at 28-30C anyways at summer time 20-25C is perfect..

yer 28 is a bit hot, best bet is to keep them at 20-26'C i think.

hehe it does feel cold but not as cold as a fridge as i have a radiator underneath my window so the lowest temp my ants get is 18C and only that in winter

well most ants are very strong and resistant so i hope ur ants didnt get hurt or anything

There you can find how long it takes for Lasius niger to hatch from egg to worker.

There is good information at the site here, also a very nice search engine. Don't be afraid to use it. ;)
