I’m happy to announce that I now have a p. Occidentalis queen with six workers larvae and eggs. I hope she does well and I might start a journal for these. Who knows I might have a big colony of these one day!
Pictures of her sorry for the quality. They also love heat my heating mat is so hot and they get as close to it as they can.

Thank you I hope for the best but I think they will do good because they’re in the best type of ant nests ever(in my opinion)
