There's a great supply of Blue whale meat from Africa on Amazon.  As to the pinkomyrmex, I aggree with one of the above posters, try a support animal.  I would recommend a fully trained support aphid from bugs-r-us.

Aphids are great for emotional support.

I read this right after my queen's aphid dumped her. I bought her a capuchin monkey as a manservant for her and all is well.

Maybe just let your queen and hear what she wants. Maybe the reason why she keeps dumping her partners is she is trying to send you a message. If she's in the firendzone let her down gently.

Nah, not a snake. My last pinko queen got eaten by a garter snake... The snake had to stuff it down its half inch wide throat...

It takes two seconds for the eggs to hatch, pretty long for formicidae. 

They are polymorphic! There are the Arnold morphs, they scream "choppa" 24/7. There's also the chic fil a morphs.
