All Myrmecocystus testaceus sold in test tubes. Keeping three as personal colonies in Mini Hearth XLs, if they all do well may sell one later in the year.

[nurbs]

Many have asked for Myrmecocystus mexicanus availability in just test tube setups with queen only or a few workers. I did grab a lot of queens the other month, but they are never sold individually and always wait after a few months for them to stabilize before selling. Mexicanus queens are notorious for dying during the early stages of rearing, even after they have a few dozen workers and I like to "weed out" the bad queens before selling. It's also why they are priced higher than others around here.

Putting these on sale. Don't have enough THA nests for them. They are fertile, just not many workers.

Are these for experts only ?  Also are the Myrmecocystus wheeleri for pickup only?

Honeypots (Myrmecocystus) should be kept by people who have done a lot of research and have exactly what they need. So people who have done a lot of research and have the resources to keep them.

WOW! that is a ton of THA formicariums. Also, did you hard code those background colors? because i don't think you could do that any way else. Just a question!
