  So currently I have four Rifa queens with eggs, and I will probably need to move them to a bigger place once they get their workers, I'm thinking of a dirt setup because honestly I don't really wanna keep Rifas because they're too aggressive but I caught them to raise to the worker stage as an experience and decided I should hand these queens to other people through GAN or something.

  Dirt setup seems more affordable if I need multiple setups if at least two of my queens make it to the worker stage. If anyone had ever done a dirt setup it'll be interesting to know what you did to compensate the ant's need. Things like humidity, soil type, and container type. Thanks!

You're technically not even allowed to have those in CA, unless they fell out of the sky and landed in your formicarium. You definitely won't be selling them on AntsCanada or here. Neither I nor Mikey need any attention from the CDFA.

Somebody on GAN in Tallahassee is selling invicta queens tho.

It's fine, I kind of thought of it that way as well but I'm just hoping that somebody will adopt the ants so I don't have to kill them.
