Hello, My real Name is Mario But you can call me Scavil actually you can call me anyone of those. I have been keeping ants for 6 years up to this point but I never took it very seriously the most ants I had in one colony was around 150-200 estimate but that was 2 years ago but I want to do a reintroduction as I have failed to remember the skills as I am getting back into the hobby. As I said in the title I am from the nice Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago but specifically from Tobago.

Make journals for the species you currently keep.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Update since then ~ the brachymyrmex queen is doing well as she has a batch of eggs and doesn't show signs of disease or mites at the moment and her test tube setup is stable
