Why choose ants from South America?

How do I start breeding South American ants?

Before deciding to breed, it’s a good idea to carefully review the characteristics of your chosen species to ensure that you are able to provide them with the right conditions. Remember that South American ants may require a special diet, adequate humidity and even specific temperature conditions. Providing them with the right humidity, in particular, causes a problem for many breeders.
