I do not have an airing cupboard. =(Phasmid hat geschrieben:I wouldn't have thought you need extra heating but it usualy helps growth rate. And since they are from Arizona they might like that much more heat than southan European species. You could always just stick the queen in an airing cupboard till she has workers, then put the colony in a heated setup.
Well I am planning on keeping them at room temperature in the classic test tube set up, I assume she will arrive in one, which I will keep her in, and hopefully she will do well, I do not mind a slow brood cycleJimmyVe hat geschrieben:They would do fine in room temperature but the brood will develop much slower than it should be. It is always best to try to keep the ants at the same temperature and humidity as where they come from.
No I am quite sure that P.rhea are NOT the biggest Pheidole in the world, just in North AmericaMessor cephalotes hat geschrieben:Pheidole rhea queens are 14 - 14,3 mm long ; workers 3 - 4 mm and soldiers up to 10,2 mm (HW : 3,7 mm), I don't know if this species is the largest Pheidole of the world.
