Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

Hi all,
I've always been interested in leaf cutter ants and have finally decided to get myself a small colony of Atta cephalotes (queen and 100ish workers) I currently keep 10 other species of ants, as this is my first Atta colony I think I will have quite a few questions to ask so I hope I don't annoy people to much, I really cant wait to get them, so excited.

About time you got some I say! And welcome Daubz! You'll find everything you need to know in here regarding Atta!

Hi Daubz and welcome.

It's an exciting and challenging endeavour.

If you want to get an overview of some of the potential issues you'll encounter the member's journal's are a good read. Mine in particular may be insightful as I still have a lot of issues to resolve

Daubz, great to see you here. I am always happy to induct a new Leaf Cutting Ant fanatic. And if you're not one now you will be soon!!

Hi Daubz, we are LCA mental here .

Hi Daubz, nice to meet you. It's exciting getting your first colony-looking forward to seeing what set up you come up with building a set up.
