Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

Do you mean how to purchase Queen's or how to purchase formicaria, fluon, etc. Because if you are trying to purchase a Queen you won't be able to buy through Ant Keeping Depot due to that fact that they would have to import the colony which is illegal (This is only for the U.S. though I believe so if you live elsewhere you should be fine). If you do live in the U.S. though we have multiple great stores here that you can buy Queens from at way better prices than AKD. Stateside Ants, Buckeye Myrmecology, and Tar Heel Ants to name a couple are all great choices. I also have my own that you can find the link to in my signature.

There are also a lot of sleazy, illegal vendors on eBay and Etsy. They’ll ship anywhere in creation.

Vendors on etsy get their ants identified incorrectly almost always. Early in the hobby before I knew better I ordered camponotus novaeboracensis and they sent nicobarensis...
I contacted them and they said they got the names confused.
Don't buy on etsy.
