Honeypots are rare, and very unique.  They have repletes, and are very pretty.  They are very expensive, but it's because of the species.

They are specifically tailored to the species and how I have them setup. They don't necessarily show you how to rear them from a queen. Basic things like "what should I feed them" is generally common knowledge and the answers can be found on this forum or anywhere on the Internet.

All poly P. subnitidus sold. Last buyer incidentally was Mikey Bustos, aka Ants Canada. He purchsed it for a family living in California. They'll be picking them up tomorrow.

 

I hope the person getting it as a gift follows my care sheet and doesn't put them in an Omni or Hybrid nest.

If I'm being honest I kind of doubt it, but hey, it is their choice.

This is for some family's child, and I believe it is a surprise gift for xmas, that's my guess anyway. But the person on their end coordinating told me Mikey purchases a colony from me and he also sends them an AC nest. I asked what nest they were sending and she replied we don't know. Only the tower will work, since it is substrate based. But from my understanding the family had no say in what nest AC was sending them. Mikey and his group contacted me regarding the colony only, there was no discussion on the nest.
