Which ant species would you like in our range?

Buy Camponotus nicobarensis

You can decide to buy a camponotus fedtschenkoi, but you can also decide to buy a camponotus nocobarensis. With the latter ant group you buy an ant that comes from Asia. The ant is considered very active and fast growing. Moreover, they do not hibernate and are notable for their excellent behavior. As an ant lover, what more could you wish for?

Lover of the medium-sized giant ant

Buying a camponotus nicobarensis means that you are a lover of a medium-sized giant ant. This is an easy to keep ant that is strikingly red-orange in color. That alone makes it a striking ant and, above all, a beautiful ant. If you decide to buy the camponotus nicobarensis, you are not only buying a beautiful ant, but also a very active ant.

The ants are very active all year round; they do not hibernate

The ant is of the tropical variety. The ant thrives best at a temperature with an air humidity of between 50 and 70 percent in the nest area. The great thing about ants is that the ants are very active all year round. They do not hibernate. That also immediately means something else. Colonies can grow faster than the average ant species that hibernates.

You will enjoy this ant species for a very long time

What is also special is the fact that the queen of this ant species can live up to 25 years. This also means that you can enjoy this ant species for a very long time. Ideal if you have plans to start your own colony. The length of the queen of this ant species can reach between 15 and 16 millimeters. The workers, on the other hand, remain smaller with lengths varying between 6 and 12 millimeters. This makes the workers somewhat larger than the average workers of other ant colonies.

Great idea, buying a camponotus nicobarensis

The ant people are anything but difficult. On the contrary. They also don't make it difficult for you when it comes to nutrition. They do well on honey, syrup, sugar water, honeydew and insects. Just as applies to many other ant species. With this ant you buy a special colored ant with exemplary behavior. Moreover, you will enjoy it for years to come. What more could you wish for?

Ordered something three times in the past month and a half. Good and quick answers to questions via chat and the Camponotus Nicobarensis colony was well packaged and arrived healthy (with workers and brood).

I recently ordered ants (Camponotus Cruentatus species)
They arrived very healthy and are already living in their formicarium with the outside world they love the food I put in them.
I use the beetlejelly cups, which is what my ants like best.
A jelly cup is large and can last a very long time.
If they need a little bit of protein, I use a bowl of mealworms that were also ordered from here.
I am very satisfied and recommend this store to everyone.

very good quality, the queen arrived alive and healthy.

There was plenty of seed and there were many larvae and brood. The colony had 13 workers at the time of delivery. A really fun species to keep and it is definitely worth stealing this and observing the ants. Definitely worth the small amount. Tip: look very carefully and keep them in one place as much as possible, they are very sensitive

Ordered a colony a few days ago, it was well packed and delivered quickly. There were slightly fewer ants than ordered, as Perry himself had indicated. I believe that's why he gave extra Beatlejelly. Really top service, definitely recommended!

Today I received my colony of Aphaenogaster gibbosa after some delay at Post.nl.

But after a phone call with Quality ants, I was reassured that the animals would arrive safely. This is top business.

Camponotus fedschenkoi ordered.

This was clearly packed with great care and arrived in good condition. Ordered a Messor barbarus queen here last year and a year later they are also doing great. Large range for a great price. In short, highly recommended
