Oh. Those are just in test tubes, and they don't grow fungus. Acromyrmex grow fungus. They should however, be moved into a suitable formicarium immediately though.

LOL! This is what happens when you wake up and see something interesting and try to jump on the deal before even washing your face! Totally merged two threads in my brain. I think I was reading some posts by Foogoo last night or at the same time. Derpa derrr.
Ok, honeypots. Awesome! I would like to buy one from you, however, I am going to Palm Springs Mon. Tues and then to Vegas for the rest of the week. Can you hold them another week?

What do the N. cockerelli eat? They're very pretty. Is their care similar to harvester ants?

They are harvester ants. So yes, their care is the same as most other harvester ants.

I'm back. Let's transact and do you have a recommendation for a proper nest?

For honeypot ants, I would recommend anything made with some sort of plaster, concrete, or dirt, and it needs to have chambers similar to a cave. Some THA products would probably be the best out there for honeypot ants at this point.

I always wondered: Is it best to put sand or soil in a test tube with Honey Pots?
Species I keep:
1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers
1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers
20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers
1 T. Sessile 200 workers

But would it benefit to put the mixture into the tube?

Are the cares of N. Cockerelli and M. Testaceus easy?

I hear that N. cockerelli is easy. As for Myrmecocystus, I think they all can be fairly difficult.

I have way too many colonies, so I'm selling these things for hardly anything now. I think we have finally run out of Southern CA people with an interest in ants.

If I wasn't moving to Wyoming in 5 months I'd be all over these deals!
Those A. Versicolor prices are to die for!

Shoot I'm tempted, especially after discovering two queen deaths today. Are you still in South OC or can you meet around LA now?

Okay I updated the Acromyrmex listing with more details, and added the large one I forgot about.

Bigb said you could pick them up from him if you want. He is in La Mirada, which is a lot closer to you.
