Can you make your prices like Crystals?
My prices are dirt cheap because I lowered the price to make them move before they become more work. (Really, who needs 80 colonies of Camponotus herculeanus?)
Most of the species I sell are the most common species in my location and are also the easiest ants to care for.
Drew's prices are better than most ant stores. If I were in California, I would be tempted to stop by and see his collection.
My prices are so low because I am in an area with very little interest in proper ant care. I am also 2 hours from the nearest town with more than 2 traffic lights, so my prices have to very low just to get people to contact me and be willing to wait until I can get into the city.
My prices do not cover the costs of raising the colonies, I just want most of my surplus ones gone so I can enjoy my personal colonies more.
