There are a lot of ants species here. I've seen carpenter ants, they are big close to 1" and then there is a smaller black kind, around 1/2". We also have a black and red ant that make large mounds, I don't know what they are, we call them forest ants. I'll do some research and find out what we have here. My aunt keeps HL and I have seen her feed the smaller black ones and the black & red ones with no adverse effects.

I've been feeding mine small crickets and lobster roaches. Right now mine are in a 20 gallon long tank, I know it should be bigger but its all I have now. They do have UVB and I'll double check they temps today.
A sandy substrate, a pile of rocks and water dish. I've been misting them daily, they all move to the highest rock when I do, stand real tall and wag their tails.






The male and smaller female are a little thin but they are starting to eat better. I want to get them nice and plump before they go down for the winter.
