Selling Ants!

Camponotus:

Pennsylvanicus (5-10 workers and brood) $25

 

Subbarbatus (1-10 workers and brood) $50-$70

Tapinoma sessile:

Small tube full of workers and brood: (16x100mm tube. Expect ~500 workers and 15-30 queens) $30

Large tube full of workers and brood: (16x150mm tube. Expect 1000+ workers and 30-50 queens) $50


These Tapinoma are a variant where the queens have a light brown thorax. Doesn't affect the behavior at all but it just looks cooler than the normal gray queens.

Those have got to be the most productive queens i've seen. Anyone would be lucky to have that colony


For a larger testube, you can by AntCanada Testubes. They are pretty high quality

I don't keep a colony myself but there's a massive colony in my yard that I leech off of. Mostly want them gone since they invade my house from time to time. They are always insane though. I just got rid of a large tube with 109 queens so I'm definitely charging low here lol. The colony in my yard easily has a hundred thousand workers too so there's plenty to go around

I have seen many accounts of AC test tubes cracking after several uses due to the material used

I've never had an AC tube crack, but I've noticed the material gets super foggy after a couple uses or just prolonged use. I've had one that got so bad I could hardly see the colony inside. Their size is pretty good though.

AC test tubes aren't great, LCM labs has the best deals for them. Most selection, and you can get glass which doesn't scratch up.

True, but they can break easily if you're clumsy. Just ask Highlytze

Most of my AC tubes are cracked, not enough to allow water/air to escape, but in the "reservoir" end there is a noticeable crack.

I meant the glass test tubes. AC test tubes will hopefully give me a good couple seasons though.
