Please contact me with what colonies you have available. I would like colonies that can handle temps into the low 60s during the winter.

Any North American ant species could easily handle 60 degree winter temps.

By low 60s Sur3fir3 means temperatures in the lower end of the 60s, so like 61, 62, 63.

60s wouldn't be a problem for any species. Even something tropical could probably handle it for a little while.

Just like Manitbant mentioned, before you do any buying of ants you should update your profile to at least show a state, county helps sellers and buyers even more. We follow this very rigidly as a group, thus the reminder. Otherwise, welcome to the group and happy ant keeping

You’ll probably need to do it on a PC.
