Where to buy A.A.C. in the U.S.

I've been wanting to make an ant farm out of A.A.C. for a while, but I can't find anywhere in the U.S. that sells it in small amounts. It would relay help me out if you guys could share where you buy it from.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

I don’t think you can. I found this Reddit post if it helps… https://www.reddit.com/r/ants/comments/8icsmv/comment/dyymhsr/

Here is a substitute. I did a bit of searching, and fire brick will work. K23 fire brick is apparently best, not sure about this website but just to show you the idea

*basically*

I think there is a few differences, but none major.
