Default Leaf cutter ants

Anyone know how to go about getting a queen and starting a collony?

Go to www.cornishcrispa.com as well as leafcutters they also do "Rattle ants" a sort of weaver ant which you may find a little easier to start with than leaf cutters.

Leaf cutters are bloody expensive, i got quoted about £250 for a starter colony (the queen pretty much dies if she starts on her own) Try Antstore, they have the best forum and shop for those sorts of things mate.
