Where you keep it? It dont like too many water... So, water tray is no no no for these type of ping. It categorized as mexican ping.

"Please thread them as how you keep yours cactus..." - I got this word from a expert sometime ago.

Hi! Caseyhoo….
I keep it beside my house with my all CPs.
Water tray is no no no for these type of ping?? Oh no …I do the stupid things, I put it with water tray.
Like that, I will quickly move the water tray when I go back…
My ping dun so sticky and I never see the insects come near it..so I feed it with small red ant. How can I make my ping more sticky and attract more insects?
Thanks a lot!!

No worries. By the way one question. How you can manage to get so many Red Ants. You catch it one by one?
