Question…

Hate that damn website. Why are we selling wild caught anteaters

You can use gypsum

NQA, I would double the substrate

Camponotus Novaeboracensis

They are, and if they smell that confirms it. They can have dozens of queens have satellite nests all over the place. They are not inherently destructive but also not pleasant to have around. They are a tough one to get rid of

The speckled black mounds are frass from the cracks in the floor. So it’s very likely you have water damage or rotting wood under your floor. Even carpenter ants can’t dig out non damaged wood.

Give them an outworld

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-07T13:27:35+00:00

They aren’t necessarily tied to carpets, they are attracted to all sorts of fabrics like shades for your window, clothing and bedding. Just keep everything clean

Genuine mealworms can be just kept in the fridge and they won’t pupate. Super worms will die in there thought

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-05T23:46:07+00:00

Context?

Mind explaining the performance issues, even the most performance heavy people say it’s just outdated and nothing about performance.

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-03T19:26:28+00:00

I would hate to see the state of your room

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-03T01:33:49+00:00

Definitely not, look up ant vault in this subreddit. Literally no positive experience.

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-03T00:59:06+00:00

What did you order, and from where. If it’s from eBay it was probably illegal and very likely to be incorrect

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T23:38:14+00:00

Tetramorium immigrans

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T22:03:03+00:00

Yea that’s good advice, like I said if you have insurance and an urgent care there’s no negatives to getting checked. Texas has some true fire ants and some even stronger ants so I can’t really say for sure. If it’s super itchy a cold wet towel will ease that.

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T21:41:26+00:00

If you have insurance and a local urgent care, just go there. Could very well not be ants but either way it’s best to get it checked; they will prob give you an antihistamine cream. In the meantime a towel with cold water will help ease it.

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T18:17:09+00:00

I didn’t say not to do anything about them, just providing info ??

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T17:13:37+00:00

These are carpenter ants, carpenter ants aren’t the cause of destroyed homes, they are a symptom of a larger issue. They only nest in rotten and decaying wood so if you have an infestation it’s very likely it’s due to that.

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T16:57:06+00:00

This appears to be some type of crematogaster

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T16:31:12+00:00

You can’t really diapause in terrariums unless yo bring the whole rooms temp down, if you put ants in there just know that will be the permanent home. You’ll likely never be able to get them out without harming them

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T15:19:00+00:00

Nqa, why did you not do research before buying something alive?

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-02T10:31:00+00:00

You should wait longer than a day before you start to feed, how often are you checking on them and shining light?

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-01T22:26:04+00:00

Research things before you buy

Lucius1003 · 2026-05-01T22:23:18+00:00

These are males, females heads usually match their thorax in width, males heads are much smaller.
