I am selling them a few dollars down. I used one once and the other I used for an experiment. I’ve had them for years now so that’s why.


I would not sell an item for more then it’s worth

Oh, ok thanks for the clarification because if they were new and you bought them during Antscanadas sale they would not be marked up if you sold them for more than you bought them for because right now he’s selling them for around 36 dollars plus shipping.

Last thing, I think you should edit old posts because it crowds up the market when people have a ton of dead posts.

Added Brachymyrmex queens. Be aware some have wing but most are shedding them off but wings don’t mean that they are infertile.

Those do look quite nice. Have you tested them on any species yet?

Yes I’ve tested with a few ca02 workers and they seemed quite happy but I’m also going to be moving a fragilis colony into a medium sized nest.
