Hey folks. Checked on the M. wheeleri this morning and they are all doing well. Have 16 total now, and only keeping three. I don't have enough THA nests for them all.

 

Will lower the price of M. wheeleri if two or more is purchased to $150.

 

So two for $300 or one for $200.

Hey guys, change on the GAN listing. Updated CITY from Los Angeles to Monterey Park.

 

Was getting mixed replies from people who were asking for species I didn't have, or buyers who said the GAN folks referred them to the wrong seller. This was because LA has now grown from just me to now four sellers.

Three M. wheeleri left in test tube only setups.

 

A few have been moved to THA nests and will go for much higher in a few months, with more workers and possibly repletes of course.

Listings updated. Please check original post for prices.

All two queen poly CA02 sold. Only singles left.

Are any of the Myrmecoystus colonies shippable, like the small colonies?

Edited by TechAnt, August 4 2020 - 10:08 PM.

[nurbs]

Yes, the ones that are from this season (Wheeleri and Testaceus) that are still in test tube setups and do not have repletes can be shipped to any CA resident. 

 

For honeypots, I do prefer pickup and cannot guarantee live delivery because of things out of my control, but because of Covid, I have shipped a few and they all arrived safely. They are packaged very carefully.

 

If you live in socal they can be picked up.

Unfortunately, I have some experience that Myrmecoystus do not always arrive alive.

Looks like you are living in LA no? Nurb is literally less than 20 ~25 min away from the LA.

Yeah I am, I am just not comfortable meeting in person.

 Yeah I am, I am just not comfortable meeting in person.

Just pay online then select a meeting place where Nurbs places it somewhere, he steps back, and then you go up and get them.  

[OhNoNotAgain]

Hey, I'd totally meet with Nurbs. Through a mask, 6+ feet away, but it'd be totally worth it for pots. Also to razz him. Because razzing nurbs is fun.

Aka: dude, go for it. Worth it for safely delivered pots imho.

[nurbs]

That's fine either way. You don't want them shipped, yet you initially asked if I shipped, and then said you don't want pickup either. So if you can't do either why did you even ask haha.

 

And yes, many buyers love to razz me. Makes me cry at night. You all are so mean.

All I said is that I had experience with pots dying in shipping, but I now know USPS can’t read ‘live animals, do not leave in sun’ on the package..

I'm debating getting some honeypots. How fast are they selling?

[nurbs]

Depends on the species, but the ones from this season in test tubes only are going fast. I did grab a lot and many are doing well.

[M_Ants]

So those are ones you caught this year? Would that mean I would only be able to get them via purchasing? Also the cheapest ones in test tubes are $150 correct? Thanks.
