Hello! My little story I always give is that I have been interested in this hobby for about two years, but I have finally gotten some equipment. Just in case you are wondering, I have a custom mini hearth from THA, and only five test tubes, with some other extra supplies. My next step is to collect ants this coming nuptial flight. I'm interested in keeping one or possibly two colonies, and selling my surplus queens every year. I plan on either making my own formicaria soon, as I am not completely happy with THA or AC formicarium completely. I am also looking for other companies, and I have heard of byFormica, but they don't have formicaria on their Amazon page. Anyway, last but not least, I would like to be introduced to other PA members, and also any company/business owners because I don't know your usernames and I am always looking for another company to check out. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, mate!

 

Always nice to see fresh meat, whoops, aspiring anters in this forum. I would check out some AC(AntsCanada) GAN Farmers for antkeepers around you. We also have a big anting community here, so feel free to ask any questions about anting and be prepared to answer some questions also.

 

Again, welcome to Formiculture!


:>

Welcome to formiculture. I actually have some formicaria in beta testing, and they should be available soon.

Hit "Like This" if it helped.

Hi Kevin! I hope you get this reply. At the time I am typing it I don't know if you will be notified, but this is all I know how to do at the moment. Anyway I was going to ask if you have a brand or a website, or anything of that nature. Thanks in advance.
