So I may be interested in purchasing some honeypot ants with repletes. I know Nurbs is selling a colony, but the price is way over my budget. So I need to find like a single queen or young colony of Myrmecocystus sp. that include the replete caste, like M. Navajo. I may be missing why prices are so high for them, like that their queens are rare or the repletes are unique and are a dream species for a lot of people. But I just want to know if anyone has a queen/colony for a reasonable price.


PM me and/or reply if you have any offers. I do PayPal.

Honestly I've never seen anyone sell a Honeypot Colony for under $50.


I love Camponotus!

Honey pots have a high mortality rate, which is part of the reason why they are so expensive.
