I’m moving out of state in the next few months and need to rehome all my colonies and food sources. All are free for pick up.

Ant Colonies
3 colonies of Camponotus semitestaceus
1 colony of Camponotus clarithorax
1 colony of Veromessor pergandei

Food sources
Newer culture of Drosophila melanogaster (smaller species of fruit flies), should be ready to begin harvesting in about 2.5-3 weeks.

10 gallon aquarium of Dubia roaches, fully mature population (>200).

Great starter collection for someone.

No shipping, please DM for more info if interested. This is a hobby and I’m not looking to make money, just want someone to take care of them.

Update: I have takers for everything except the fruit fly culture and the clarithorax.

Assuming the person who wanted them comes to pick them up today, they are free. I’m not in the hobby to make money and I can’t realistically move them cross-country.

If for any reason this doesn’t follow through, I will update my post, but everything has been spoken for at the moment.
