It's not that I don't like them. I just don't like them as much as P. vistana. Everything I like about P. hyatti, P. vistana has and does more of.

Drew, I may buy the Camponotus sansabeanus from you.  I don't know much about them and will try to read up this weekend, but where would you place them on the difficulty to manage scale?

Camponotus are fairly easy to keep.

I decided to sell one of my large Pogonomyrmex californicus colonies of probably over 800 workers. I just can't take care of two colonies this large.

How much does a colony that size eat a day?

I'm not sure, but they could probably eat one large cricket a day.

I decided to sell my S. xyloni colony of 500+ workers. I just can't take care of all the ants I have.
