Hello guys. I just wanted to put a small introduction out on behalf of my company/project.
First off, I would like to thank everyone for the encouragement and help I received to make this possible. Its nothing huge, but it is a fun journey for myself. I plan on taking this little project of mine as far as I can.
117 Colonies : About Me
117 Colonies & Ants Farms is an Artisan Ant keeping company aimed to provide Formicariums and Insect Habitats, as well as collection devices and bug gear. Creating a clean, natural environment while allowing full visibility and interaction with your critters of various size and species. We have starter packs such as the 117 Callow Nest providing a full set of ant keeping gear, or collection devices such as the Aardvark allowing the everyday hobbyist to collect insects with minimal damage and loss.
Here at 117 Colonies, we are continually researching and developing new and useful applications to allow you to really enjoy your hobby. Started by Ryan Hubbard in early 2016 with the 117 Hotel and selling to local ant keepers, he found that he had a knack for creating ant nests. Having a long history with critter keeping and attending to all needs as well a background in Architectural and Mechanical Design, creating habitats came as 2nd nature and it shows with the success of every colony or creature in a 117 Habitat.
Our goal is to provide any and all hobbyist a jumpstart in to the myrmecology and entomology world. We are an active member in the Ant keeping social media scene, as well as local myrmecology and entomology groups with uploading and sharing media of various species, as well as promoting safe, healthy keeping of all creatures. We are also a proud member of the GAN (Global Ant Nursery) project promoting the pet ant keeping hobby, and habitat conservation. We provide useful information such as collecting, keeping, and culturing ants and insects alike. Detailed information on identifying your own species of ants, and even creating your own DIY nest and Outworld.
We provide a full range of outworlds and nests when we have them available.
117 Colonies also has a Build your own section were hobbyist can request a setup built to their specific requirements. Here you can ask for any size outworld and nest, as well as any particular theme you may like. You can find this under Collection > Build your own.
Thank you.
