Hey guys, hope you are all doing fine! Wanted to show you how the Pogonomyrmex queen you guys helped me identify is doing.

 

I first had her in a test tube enclosure but she never ate or layed eggs. I then added a bit of dirt and she still did no want anything to do with it. I had my brother send me from Puerto Rico a Tarheel Ants enclosure I had, so after about a week I moved her there.

 

After just one day I started seeing eggs and she ate a little piece of grape. Like a week later a gave her a piece of a mealworm that she rapidly started eating. After another few days i gave her a ant food mix I had bought on ebay. (Not sure what it is but she seems to love it lol)

 

So these pictures are about 2 weeks more less since I put her there. Hope you like them!

The best thing to do is get the URL to the images, and post them as embedded images. Just click on the image button and paste the URL.

Pogonomyrmex like dirt more than glass.
