Did you try Carolina Biological Supply: http://www.carolina.com/nematodes/caeno ... =c+elegans

They have inexpensive live c. elegans along with the nematode growth agar: http://www.carolina.com/catalog/search- ... SearchForm

and the E. coli to feed them: http://www.carolina.com/catalog/search- ... SearchForm

The cost of everything should be less than fifty dollars.

Let us know if you need any help setting up the culture.
