Hello, all!

I've recently started being interested in ant keeping, and I'm really excited to get involved.

I live in Pensacola, Florida, which is as close to Alabama as you can possibly get but still live in Florida. It's warm enough here that ants don't ever really go into true hibernation.

I don't have a colony or a queen yet, and am looking to acquire one, so don't be afraid to hit me up with an offer!

This is a great place for ant keepers. I joined just a few months ago and have had the most help on the site. There is a buy and sell forum on this site too. One way to buy queen ants is through the GAN project. That how I purchased my first queen. And the guy I got the queen through is a member on this forum too. Also you can only buy queens from the state you live in. It is illegal moving queens across state borders. Good luck with your new hobby
