I am moving out of state in January or February and have lots of colonies available but cannot be shipped.i am located near Sacramento. A few to mention (veromessor pergandai,formica SP ,monomorium minimum,myrmecocystus mexicanus ,Camponotus anthrax,Camponotus hyatti,solenopsis xyloni)

[ZTYguy]

Can any colonies be shipped. I may be interested but I don’t want to drive all the way down to Sacramento.

[Vern530]

And high elevation camponotus vicinus orange variety
All come with formacariums and feeders

Can any colonies be shipped. I may be interested but I don’t want to drive all the way down to Sacramento.

I would ship at buyers risk if so

[ZTYguy]

Can any Camponotus be shipped?

[Vendayn]

I'm not here to dictate how you do things, but if it was me or my dad, since you aren't shipping and if someone say from southern california drives all the way up there, I'd definitely offer some extra colonies than what they would otherwise pay or some extra goodies. Be a super long drive for anyone not up north granted it be their choice obviously to go up there to begin with. But its just quite a drive.

 

Though the people asking if you ship didn't read the OP

 

(edit: Either way, that's a lot of awesome species. I'm sure people gonna get some nice colonies )

I don’t know what happened because I just reloaded the page and the entire OP appeared and I would like to ask how much the C. vicinus Costs.

[Vern530]

The c vicinus is 120$ in larger diy hearth style formicarium about 60-80 workers

Ya if they made the choice to drive for a set price then I wouldn’t feel obligated to give them “free colonies” sole of these colonies I drove 19 hours round trip to catch

yeah that's more than fair enough, was more a slight suggestion and not really even that. than like "you really should do this or bad person and its a waste of other persons time". Personally I'm probably overly giving as my character fault hence why don't really sell ants or anything, but like said, its not like they'd be forced to drive that far. So while I did say what I'd do, no one or I expects someone to be given extra gifts if they chose to go that far on their own accord. Though its quite a drive still lol.

 

Especially tried to explain better my post than it seeming like a demand or even suggestion, when I added in the person will get an amazing colony and amazing species. My post probably came off a bit wrong.

Good Morning,

I am interested in your listing for Veromessor pergandai, and would be interested in pricing and your consideration for shipping at my expense and risk, if you could consider providing me with a quote, if possible.

As an upfront I am new to ant-keeping and am interested in harvester ants, if you feel that this would be too much upfront for someone of my experience level, I absolutely understand and as I would rather not be responsible for getting in over my head my first time.

Thank you for your consideration and patience, all the best in your move.

Best Regards,
Oliver

Send me a dm for prices and shipping consideration and only ship in California. The veros are some of the easiest to care for
