These gorgeous Pheidole ants feature incredible majors with huge heads, giving them their iconic name of the big-headed ants. They’re a great beginner ant since they’re small, require minimal care, and the queens are very easy to raise. Their numbers grow very quickly, and they usually have majors within the first few months of having workers.
Good service and items that come with the ant
Fantastic!
My order was sent immediately and arrived very fast. Ants looked very healthy on arrival, in a clean glass tube. One queen didn’t quite make it but was replaced straight away. Great customer service and very helpful. Very satisfied with order and will definitely be coming back for more purchases.
