@ Steve: wired, normally they are fast movers... but you know ants.

@ Thomie: enjoy your holiday. (wish i had some... )

[SteveUK28]

Mpir.. Just wondering you got some new photos of your icecream setup?? would be good to see how they have grown since the last pics

[mpir]

Hey Steve... No, I don't have any new but I will make some today, especialy for you.

I will post them later on as I should probably clean up the arena first. lol

[SteveUK28]

lol thanks very much.. i look forward to seein it

[Moiser]

Great photo's guys, very nice looking ants.

[mpir]

Photos as promissed.

A lot of ants were also in the both arenas of the time of taking this photos. Some seem to just sit there.

Tbh, I limited a bit their protein food as their numbers were incresing really fast. Now they get only about one big fly a week and of course water and seeds. Their development has slowed down but their numbers are still growing. Next year I plan to move them in more suitable farm, probably one from Antstore. It's just that I can't decide which one.

ohh i really hop that mine start growin that fast.. at the mo they aint eating that i can see.. but i have only got 5 workers atm.. im sure things will speed up soon...

[JimmyVe]

Nice Mpir, looks like they are doing fine. (good job)

Don't worry Steve, the first year i had mine they seems to grow slow to, but now you need to see them, damn...

[SteveUK28]

ive given up on them movin jimmy ive put them bag half onto the heat mat now.. hopefully that will help them.. they can move in there own time now.. i wont rush them.

[JimmyVe]

Well i hope they move soon. Good luck.

Í'm back ..
I've moved my nest back to the original place, that gave the normal stress (queen almost running into the outside world and workers running to nowhere).
The brood is really big atm, it looks like they'll be all Majors (i guess that's becouse i'm used to L.Niger , i know i'll have to wait a "little" more before the majors hatch).
I don't see any cocoons yet, but when i see the size of the larva there will be soon 5 cocoons (i hope , double the nest)
I hope the first workers hatch soon .

[JimmyVe]

Nice to hear that Thomie. Good luck with them.

Here I m showing a video of Skippy´s Messor muticus polygyn colony with two queens! We was on teraristic market together and I coudn´t tear my eyes from this nice formicarium(made and colored by Skippy) and from ants...
It´s a pitty than we can´t see a queens very well on a video, my camera needed more light....
