Hi, I am Antkeeper! I have been keeping ants for over 15 years or so. I currently own a colony of Lasius niger. I hope to share my experiences of them here. I am always happy to answer any ant questions and also ask a few myself! See you on the forum! Happy anting & Merry Christmas too!  |

Hi Antkeeper. Have you been a member of the Ant Hill before, as I seem to recall your email address and a member who had a Yorkshire Terrier the same as you? He also kept Lasius niger, but I don't remember the user name.  |

Hi Antkeeper. Have you been a member of the Ant Hill before, as I seem to recall your email address and a member who had a Yorkshire Terrier the same as you? He also kept Lasius niger, but I don't remember the user name. Hi Wood, Yes, I was under the username Mako! When Ant Hill Forum went down I left and started a new ant forum, but due to Ant hill re-opening, lack of members and hacking in the end, I decided to pull it offline. Now I am back for the New year on this forum and all is back to normal! Less stress asking ant questions then running a forum for sure. I will try to put up my Lasius niger journal back up when I get a chance. |

Shame you deleted your Mako account user name, as you had posted such a lot; and it would have saved you making a new account. Always better to leave an old account open, so if you do decide to leave the forum for a short time you still have all your old posts to come back to if you decide to come back again. |

Hi antkeeper, glad you have decided to use the scent trail back to the Ant Hill  Running a forum does have its ups and downs, and can be very hard in the beginning. Great to have you back on board! |

Hi and welccome (again) ! 15 years ! You must have got a lot of ant species ! I have honestly only ever kepted the UK native species- Lasius niger, Lasius flavus and Myrmica rubra in all that time! I am looking (at last!) to get a colony of Messor barbarus in the Spring. Looking forward to trying a new species, even if it is still European! I have a lot of experience in these native species as stated, but species like Myrmecocystus mexicanus or Atta cephalotes still look beyond my reach just yet!  |

I don't mind Wood! That's my punishment for delete it, I have to start from scratch again! Although, my old username has too many bad memories with it, as I used it on my forum... so best have a new start on here! |

I don't blame you, though if you ever wish to change your screen name (NOT user name as this cannot be changed), all you have to do is edit it in your own profile. Handy to know for future reference. |
