Lets see who is the most addicted! Tomorrow ill count how many times I look at them and log my result, It will be interesting hearing everyone's numbers!
Try and look at them like you would on a normal day so its not exaggerated ha ha, not 66's or 99's
I blame Andrew for my pretty bad addiction!

Edit:
My hand slipped and put 30 instead of 10 so I've changed it

Well I can tell you I have looked at my colony on five separate occasions today, twice this morning and three times this afternoon/evening.
Atta cephalotes (2019)
Camponotus detritus (2018)
Camponotus maculatus (2018)

Not fair. My colonies are in the Greenhouse. Once in the morning, once when I come home and then for an hour at night, feeding. How many times does a solid hour count as. But technically I suppose. its 3 times per day.

Id say over the last 10 days I could beat you all! I'm sat here with 4 tanks with 3 acros and 1 atta just above my screen, to my right I have 2 Bullet ants jumping around (noisy buggers) 2 more acros and my mega colony of QEII not to mention a large c.vagus colony and Messor Barbarus of 500+ and about 40 other species!
Anyway.. I'm now semi recovered so back to work tomorrow! yay!

If 3 times per day isnt enough then you are doing something wrong imo.

I have my colony in my office so I'm at least 10 - 20 checks a day... Well it's more like just all day really.. do a bit of work.. quick check.. If I'm not looking at them I'm scheming ways of expanding their environment..
