Prenolepis nitens (2 queens) - false honeypot ant

[UKantz]

These will be the last ants I'll buy for a while, but I couldn't help myself as I've wanted to keep this species for a long time. I got them from ants hungary, and asked if I could have a 2 queen colony, which he said was available. 

Apparently they should be kept around room temperature during the day, and cooler at night. They have also started laying eggs apparently, so hopefully they won't eat them on the journey over .

They arrived today! I love the look of these ants; their gasters are very large

Both queens arrived alive and well, and with a small cluster of around 6-8 eggs.

These queens are doing just fine, the egg pile has increased to around 20/30 or so. I'm not sure if they are fully claustral or not, since there is a lack of information online, I am just assuming they are by their build.
