What's up, I'm Sean! I am based in Los Angeles, CA, and am currently employed as a research tech at an ant lab at UCLA. I have cared for Odontomachus trap-jaws in the past and stumbled upon this forum while looking for ideas on how to keep some Pogonomyrmex. I'm excited to check out set-ups and see what I might apply for my experiments!
On that note, I'm trying to design an enclosure that I can point a video camera at and capture digging behavior at the moment. That involves setting up a thin layer of sand topped with a transparent lid.. I have to work out the details of materials and size! If anyone has advice on general Pogonomyrmex care, or creating a set-up like the one I described, reach out, because I'd love to talk!
I'll post pics of the set-ups I devise, and any other cool photos I may get. Looking forward to scoping the forum!
