So I decided to give one to my C. Pennsylvanicus Queen! :D I just connected her test tube to see if she'll move on her own. Time will tell! :D

Well this sucks! Lost 2 founding queens yesterday!  :*(  One was C. pennsylvanicus #2 the other was a C. castaneus. I think it's my fault, actually I'm sure it is. I moved them to a warmer location and I think now the thermometer I was using is defective and wasn't giving me the proper readings. I think they were too warm and succumbed to the heat.

 

Going to buy a Temp gun today and check all the places my ants are so I'm sure!

 

 

No update on C. pennsylvanicus #1
