ANTSTORE World of Ants

[Ukantzz]

I have kept 2 basic species of ant in the past (Lasius niger) and (Lasius flavus) but now need some thing more challenging

Firstly I was thinking of Messor barbus however won't be able to have a source of heating (just my room) and was wandering wether heating is a really important part of keeping Messor barbarus...

Second choice would be Camponotus herculeanus as I liked the fact it has minors and majors And can be kept at room temperature, but was wondering are they good as my first central eurapeen species

Would it be ok to keep these species in a y tong set up?

Sorry for all the questions I'm new here

Thanks

Hi, antzz

I would recommend the Camponotus as they are easier to keep. Both should do well in an ytong nest (although I prefer plaster).

I was thinking plater but moulds after 6 months so I'm going y tong does Messor barbarus have to be kept at 24-28 degrees as Camponotus is my reserve genus [species]

But thanks for the reply so soon
