Do you have a photo of them in the nest? I cannot legally buy them but I'm interested in seeing what they look like in a dire pinnacle.

What nest are they in. I’m just wondering why the price is what it is.
Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia

They are in an older THA dire pinnacle formicarium.
For some reason I can't upload photos from my phone on here.
As far as pricing I don't know what a reasonable price would be for this colony based on size and age . I am also including a dubia roach/mealworm colony with it

I think this price is way too much for a colony of this size. I think you'd be way more likely to sell it at say $150.

The nest is already more then that. Way too low of a price. Also that price is considering the time that colony took to grow, especially being a Camponotus vicinus colony which are notoriously slow growers.

If it did not come with the outworld I would be very surprised.

He also said that he'd sell his dubia roach and mealworm colony along with it, and depending on the size of the dubia roach colony (how many mature females/males are in it), that price is very well worth it.

This colony will blow up soon, plus the formicarium's. $300 is a steal.
