I live in Tennesse but way on the other side lol in West TN. Honestly, if we were closer I'd love to help out as I have multiple species that are about to be ready to sell...including Camponotus pennsylvanicus, Formica pallidefulva, and Crematogaster sp. I have a few more so If anyone is interested just let me know (preferably closer towards West TN please).
Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicusx3 (founding)
Dorymyrmex bureni
Formica pallidefulva x3
Formica subsericea x4
Tetramorium immigrans
Have kept many other ant species but now keep over 100 tarantulas and other inverts! Mantids, centipedes, and scorpions to name a few 😁
