Scamed and never received anything
I ordered a camponotus floridanus queen from The Ant Vault which got send to me (price more then 100$) but denied by custom clearance of my country. It got denied because the sender (The Ant Vault) didnt give information on the package to customs clearance so it got sent back to the USA. Many mails were sent to them by me on how we can make it work. They all just totaly got ignored. I didnt get a single answer, a refund or the ants. They cashed in my money and ignored all my trys to contact them.
I strongly recommend not buying at this store, chances you wont get your order and be ignored are high. Not trustworthy at all.

DO NOTORDER ANYTHING
DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT order anything from The Ant Vault!
All they do is take your money. They over promise and under deliver! They do not respond to calls and emails. It's a scam and a ripoff!!!

Took our money, never shipped supplies or ants. Contacted multiple times, always promises of tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow, but tomorrow never came. Had to contact credit card to get refund. Wow.

Overpriced and abusing beginners lack of knowledge
Heavily overpriced and abusing beginners lack of knowledge, species names are misleading and how do they even dare sell "worker ants", woker adoption works only in very specific settings, and how they present it is straight up money rob.
