Just interested in knowing if anyone has experience keeping this species, more specifically ones that are found in the United States, love how these little guys look, interested in info. about em' especially since I can't go out and observe them here in SoCal.

You can easily find info on the web, they are actually relatively easy to keep.

Hmm. I could just say "no", but that would be probably worse than just not saying anything at all. So instead I'll say that I'm pretty sure they don't need any nest moisture. I live in Wisconsin though, so take that with a massive grain of salt.


Currently keeping:

 

Tetramorium immigrans, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Myrmica punctiventris, Formica subsericea

Formica pallidefulva, Aphaeogaster cf. rudis

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Camponotus nearcticus

Crematogaster cerasi

Temnothorax ambiguus

Prenolepis imparis
