ANTSTORE World of Ants

[mike2lane]

Hi Everyone. I'm Mike from Greenwich, CT USA. I have some new Camponotus pennsylvanicus and Camponotus castaneus queens who are about to get some pupae. In preparation for a real nest for them, would what I have listed below be good enough for a complete and long-lasting setup? Clearly, I would just double the order for two colonies. Is this what you experts out there would get if you were in my situation? I don't mind paying more if it is something better!?

Thank you all in advance for your opinions and time.


1 x Ant Island 20x30
1 x flexible tube glassy 10/14 mm
1 x Ant Display Deluxe
1 x Rote PVC-Abdeckfolie non-sticking
1 x Fodder: sugar-honey-fluid
1 x flexible tube glassy 8/10 mm
1 x rubber plug 6,0 - 10,0 mm
1 x 10x tube link for 8/10 mms of hoses
5 x ground: desert sands red 2.25 Kg
2 x ground: loam
1 x ground: potter´s clay granulate

But ground is cheaper if you order in your country.
3 Kg ground cost by shipping from europe ~40 Euro.
If you want order, please wait. perhaps the shipping price to the USA is higher. we must ask our parcel service. 5-6 Kg is ~60 - 80 Euro.
please check what can you find in the USA, and than order only the other items. Save your money.

Great, thank you for the advice, Martin. My order will now read:

1 x Ant Island 20x30
1 x Ant Display Deluxe
1 x Rote PVC-Abdeckfolie non-sticking
1 x Fodder: sugar-honey-fluid
1 x flexible tube glassy 8/10 mm
1 x rubber plug 6,0 - 10,0 mm
1 x 10x tube link for 8/10 mms of hoses

Is this enough 'flexible tube glassy' for between the Deluxe and the Island, and is the 8/10 mm the correct size?

Also, how long should I wait before ordering, as my babies will be here in a couple of weeks!?

Cheers,
Mike

the flexible Tube is one meter long.

normal is the shipping one week, but i must check the shipping price.
I think last mounth is the price outside of the EU higher. And don't forgot the US Import Tax. Have you ask how high is it?
