Hi,

My name's Jesse. I'm just a 12 year old boy with a passion for ants and ant keeping. If anyone could give me tips on keeping Pheidole dentata, that'd be great.  :D

Welcome to the Forum! There are plenty of journals on the forum about P. Dentata but this is the one I would recommend checking out: https://www.formicul...eidole +dentata I hope this helps.

Hello JesseTheAntKid;

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for telling us a little bit about yourself. I think I was about eight or nine when I realized I had a passion for ants but I never mastered the keeping part. Now, 60 years later, I’m finally able to keep the colonies I wished I had when I was a kid. I hope you have as much fun with yours in your lifetime as I’ve had with mine these past few years. There are ups and downs, successes and failures, but that is the way of nature and life. Good luck in the future!

My father always said I had ants in my pants.

Hi Jesse, I'm also 12! Pheidole is on my wishlist, and I love their big heads! Congrats!
