_________________

-Only 1 Veromessor pergandei colony left, 4 queens and over 30 workers. Available for only 55$ plus shipping! Just moved them into a fresh tube as well!

-Myrmecocystus mexicanus colonies now available, colonies in dirt boxes (not drew's dirtboxes) now available, pickup preferred, and I can drive to a meeting place for a premium.

-Prices adjusted, extending pickup distance temporarily to 20 miles. If you need me to travel further I can but gas costs will be factored into the price.

Notes:

-Shipping now available, as summer is over and temperatures have cooled significantly. (For M. mexicanus shipping is only available for test tube colonies, and DoA policy does not apply due to them being very sensitive to shipping.)

I've bought from Theantguy14 twice, once a month and a half ago and once today. Both times he has been on time to our pickup location and the colonies have both arrived and stayed healthy. He has given me good support, tips, and encouragement on caring for the ants he has sold me which I greatly appreciate. He also gave me, free of charge, a failing Camponotus laevigatus colony in a custom formicarium and some slow-growing Myrmecocystus mexicanus queens that he could no longer care for. Thank you! 10/10 ants and service both times.
