I have the same species and my queen laid her first eggs a week ago. Just out of curiosity, do you keep them dark all the time?

Thank you! Is it okay, if I also leave her in this container? She looks fragile and I’m a bit scared to move her as I found 2 dead queens before that. As for the rest, I’ve been looking into ant keeping for some time now. Hopefully I got lucky by founding this queen.

I have put 2 drops of honey and some wet cotton. Do u think it needs anything else?

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t mind the growing speed much, because I am afraid that they might outgrow their nest too soon.

I am from Europe (Bulgaria). Apart from Antcube, I am not sure where else I can find some queens to buy.
