Re: Hello from the UK Barrow
That's an impressive list of creatures you take care of. There certainly are a number of options available to you to get a queen or fledgeling colony. Check for any GAN farmers near you on the AC website for that. There is also https://antsuk.com/ and probably some other webstores available to you. I know one of the members of the Camponotus Crew lives in the UK and bought one of his colonies (Camponotus turkestanus) through a store there, but I am not sure which one.WalneyReptiles wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 1:49 pmHi there

Re: Hello from the UK Barrow
Yeah you can buy them online, takes a while to learn how to use them and set them up but there well worth the investment, mine cost me £600 i can print anythink within 315mmx315mmx315mm which is a decent size but the bigger the print the longer it takesHawkeye wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 3:08 pmBTW how did you get access to a 3d printer?WalneyReptiles wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 5:25 pmI will upload some photos as and when my Ant Gear arrives and when mine have finished 3dprinting,
