Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Been a long time since I've posted in this forum. Doesn't seem to be much action in here anymore???

Pretty much out of these guys right now. Still have plans to go on with the next phase of my ant-less diet experiment...just don't have the time to properly work with them right now. Maybe next year? Is anyone seriously working with them in this way?

BTW.....the last of my 2005 CB Solares, a male, is now 6, fat and healthy and has yet to see any ants besides the Argentines that occasionally sneak into his enclosure.

I know this is sacriligious talk in this forum that will most likely be followed by darts and arrows, always has in the past...but still, I have real data that indicates further work in this area is worth investigating, and just imagine what we could do for these guys should we figure out a more economically friendly way to raise them.

Thanks,
Roger

Hi, Roger. I realize this is a little late, are you still working on this experiment? I'm really interested in it as it is not very practical for me to order harvester ants all the time. I have not had my DHL's for very long (just a little over a week) and would be interested to try this out after I get into these animals a little bit more and can say I have some experience with them.
