they wouldn't even make it out the apartment because they would run over some liquid stuff that kills them.

also I never said I didn't have a permit you guys came to the conclusion off of one person's saying that I was doing it illegally, there is such a thing called mystery. if you look at my past posts on this topic i also never said I had one, that doesn't mean i don't have one. I would have just said i had a permit if i wanted to right? but i didn't so that doesn't give you the right to accuse me of doing something illegal even if i was doing it or not. wouldn't that make sense?

all i hope is that the colony would not escape. what would happen then? it can be fairly easy if you are not experienced enough. if that were my colony, i would feel like i am ruining the natural environment.

They would die though. The environment is not suitable for them.

 

ok, well that is good.


also I never said I didn't have a permit you guys came to the conclusion off of one person's saying that I was doing it illegally, there is such a thing called mystery. if you look at my past posts on this topic i also never said I had one, so what made you believe i was doing it illegally, if i wanted you to believe me i would have just said i had a permit. wouldn't that make sense?

if you had a permit, i would hope you would say. why would you want everybody to think you were doing it illegally?

I wasn't trying to make people think that i was doing it illegally but i like a good mystery that sometimes leads to bad grades though in school... maybe i should stop making people wonder about things. And here is something you've all been waiting for I have a permit and I got approved for novomessor cockerelli and pogonomyrmex barbatus I don't even know why i wanted p. barbatus but i guess i just picked it as something just in case. Anyways should i make a journal or not?

You WANTED to cause a thread that was somehow worse than the AC discussion?

Wow...  I just read through all of this.  I'm a bit confused why you WANTED this thread to escalate so much, if you do actually have a permit.  As many people said before, it isn't our business to judge if you are buying illegally or what not.  I must say, it is strange that you wanted to escalate this thread for 5 pages...  As many people said, if it is legal and you do have a permit, that's great.  If it's not, you know the potential consequences and that's all we can really say.  We can't do anything about it, so it's ultimately your choice.  

 

 

That being said, I think we really don't need to say anything else.  We have pretty much said everything possible here, in every variation.  We aren't going to gain anything by continuing, so we might as well stop.

I didn’t want it to go far at all actually, but I don’t get on here like that so I didn't even check this a lot. I could have stopped it but I’d don’t sooo what’s in the past is in the past you can’t fix it.

Thing is, you probably don't and you just wanted to end the thread.

And this will also prove if they did get one if they answer correctly.

It takes a couple months and when I say q couple months usually when the USDA has time for it. So around 4-6 months for me. I stopped counting at the third month like I have already done with my tarheelants order.

Ohhh a fortress and a mini hearth plus inception chamber and a ytong/firebrick mini hearth to try it out. The only thing that he hasn’t finished which he said around 3 weeks ago was the ytong mini hearth and I have yet to receive a tracking number =|

If u order a lot of stuff it takes a while. I ordered the 5 for $125 Mini Hearth deal with 1 as XL around September 10th and they didn't come until a few weeks ago.
