Hi everyone! I’ve never kept ants before, but they have always fascinated me. I do have experience with some other invertebrates like isopods, millipedes, and crabs. My friend recently told me about ant keeping, so here I am! I’m really excited to get into this hobby

Welcome to the forum! I'm hoping you enjoy your time here! You will learn a lot here. We have some really smart people on here that you can go to for help. I recommend asking ANTdrew, AntsDakota, Antdude, or Cheeto. They are some of the best members on the forum in my opinion. You can't really go wrong though, everyone here is really nice and helpful.

Welcome! This is a good time to start the hobby because you have several months to research before nuptial season.
