I recommend this shop.  Thank you AP for the 4 P. rugosus, they all arrived alive and well, nicely packaged with an icepack with daytime temps here in the upper 90s.  I'll be keeping my eye on this shop for other high desert species.

Welcome to my ant adoption page! I will ship ants anywhere within California  :yahoo:! Buyer pays for shipping. Buyer must understand the risks of shipping. All ants are usually shipped through USPS (United States Postal Service) priority mail. All payments are done through Paypal. Payment will always be through Friends & Family as not to cause any extra fees and to prevent scam.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Private Message (PM) me if you are interested in any of the following colonies. This thread will constantly be updated so if a colony is marked "available" it most likely still is. If you have questions, please reply to this thread.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Formicaria & Ant Keeping Supplies - SHIPS ANYWHERE IN THE U.S (Shipping done via USPS Priority or Ground ; Buyer pays for shipping) PM me if interested!

 

Firebrick Nests (Very similar to AAC or Ytong)

The moisture retentive properties of firebrick lead to stable humidity levels while insulative properties help keep temperature fluctuations to a minimum (similar to the underground). The material is much more ant friendly than acrylic or plastic nests as it's porous surface makes it easy for all species to grip onto and allows a healthy amount of airflow. Glass is custom cut for every formicarium in order to ensure a perfect fit. All of my formicaria are designed to be compatible with most North American ant species that have basic founding needs. All formicaria can be hydrated via pipette or syringe. 5 inches of 3/8" tubing and a pipette is included with every order. Removable glass is optional  (PM me for details).  

 

Founding Formicarium 25$available - (More can be made to order) Roughly 4.5" x 4.5" x 2" Each formicarium is hand made so each one is unique  :D 

 

 

 

is solenopsis still availbile?

well he didn't respond to the last person who asked and they haven't been online in two months. And you are in Cali so you have more people to buy from.

When will Forelius be available? I'd be interested in buying those if they're ever available again.
