Cavebear believe me, the best you could do is to spend 2-3 hours and watch some of the antscanada's tutorials. Also rising an ant colony takes more than a year until their number get bigger and personally I think you will have to wait at least 2 more years before you start harvesting them!
Maybe catching wild ant for now is better idea because as I said you won't be able to harvest more than a gram (in the best scenario 2) of ants a day. Even if you have 100 colonies I bet the amount of ants will barely be enough to feed a single pangolin, what about 10 or 20.
You have great idea! But it will take very long time. If you are ready to wait a whole decade to start harvesting your colonies go for it. 30-40 giant natural formicariums are everything you need. And also I am not racist but I am interested are you European, American, Asian, African?
