Hello everyone!

I'm a (mostly new) antkeeper from Colorado.  I have managed to get a few small black ant queens to the nanite stage before, but this year I caught a couple giant Camponotus queens, and she now has 3 workers.  I figured I might as well seek out more knowledgeable folks so I can give this colony it's best chance at growing.

I'm looking forwards to furthering my ant keeping journey. (y)

Keeping:

1x - S. molesta (founding)       2x - C. pennsylvanicus (founding queen and colony)   

4x - C. chromaiodes (colonies)                                       

4x - T. immigrans (founding queens and colonies) ==> 3x queen [founding], 2x queen colony [colony], and two 1x queen [colony and founding]

1x - F. subsericea (founding)
