It depends on the species. Which species is it?
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 agree, they won’t need sand, if you really wanted to add sand then attach a outworld with sand in it and they will choose to bring in the sand if they need help with hydration control.
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?

You can email me about ants at Tucker.reynolds13@gmail.com
