By buying an acromyrmex octospinosus you are not making things easy for yourself. It is a fairly difficult ant species. However, it is also a nice challenge for the ant keeper. Because if you manage to create ideal conditions, keeping this ant species is indeed feasible.
If you decide to buy the acromyrmex octospinosus, you are buying a very large ant. The queen can reach a length of up to 13 millimeters. The workers reach a length of between 3 and 10 millimeters. The soldiers are also very large, measuring between 10 and 13 millimeters in length. If you decide to buy the acromyrmex octospinosus, you will enjoy it all year round. They do not hibernate. If you choose to buy the acromyrmex octospinosus, you would be wise to purchase a cylinder.
The ant from South America prefers to eat leaves and it likes temperatures between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius. The ants can survive well if the humidity in the nest is between 95 and 99 percent. Especially when you decide to buy the acromyrmex octospinosus, it is extra important to always ensure a very stable temperature and humidity level.
In any case, with this ant you buy a very beautiful ant species. They are subfamily of the Myrmicinae and are known as cultivators of fungi. The various leaves that these ants eat are fed to the fungi. As stated, it is a somewhat difficult ant species to keep. The conditions must always be perfect.

As an ant keeper and especially as a beginner, you can make it a lot easier. You can do this by deciding to buy Messor structor, for example. This requires much less work than if you choose this mold renovator. But an ant keeper who likes a challenge will choose this special and sturdy ant species. It's up to you!
