  • I rambled a bit too much in this video. lol Enjoy!
    PS Mack did put in the nestmates. =0)
    PPS I just realized that I never stated that I was not sponsored, nor does Mack at Tar Heel Ants offer me any kind of discounts for doing these videos.

    Damn! The queen moved into her new THA Mini Hearth home so quickly I did not get a chance to record it. lol

    After comparing my Pogo. colonies, I believe that this new colony is in fact Pogonomyrmex maricopa.

      There's one way to find out. Let your Pogonomyrmex barbatus sting you then the Pogonomyrmex maricopa, it should hurt more 😆. Congrats on your new colony.

    It seems that my new Pogo. maricopa colony do not enjoy the heat as much as my other Pogo. colonies. I keep finding them hanging upside down and furthest away from the heat sources. So I moved their THA mini hearth to a spot to provide a bit less heat and see how they do.

    Are you allowed to the Florida Harvester Ant with the right permits?

      Funny you should ask me that. I started the process to get a permit. I stopped because I had a few questions that Mack was able to answer. I just need to go back and finish the application and start the process. Why do you ask?

      Cause they are only Pogos that have majors

    Can you do a video of you moving them?

      Yeah... I wanted to, but they moved into the nest far too quickly. I apologize though, I could have recorded me adding them to the THA Mini Hearth formicarium. I JUST got off the phone with Mack and I got some new "stuff" coming pretty soon. So in the future I will try to record more of the actual process of taking care of my colonies. Cool? =0)

    Try Ant Gear they’re pretty much the same business but smaller and they’re from Arizona. You can pick them up in Phoenix.
