That's the key. You are doing amazingly with these. I am amazed you are thinking about selling them. Are you going to Uni this year? Did you get a place?
Not this year, next year so I'm giving a large amount of time for this colony to sell to a responsible person which will be able to keep them successfully. This colony was very difficult to source that's why I cannot risk selling it to some inexperienced keeper.

I don't personally have any paperwork, the guy I bought it from was from Dortmund, Germany and he originally bought the colony from Mr Kalytta over a year ago.

If it originally came from Kalytta ants I doubt it will have any paperwork.
