Formicarium Suggestions?
So I am looking for a decent size formicarium for my Prenolepis imparis or Camponotus nearcticus colony and I am just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations. My only requirements is that it will ship to USA and it is a good price. If not what do you think about these: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20170623192728&SearchText=ant+farm

Don't get any of gel one's. Eventually you will have a mold epidemic.

Check out 117 colonies and Tarheel ants.
If you wanna go cheap you can always use plastic containers, apply a barrier, drill a hole for tubing into them and add a bottom layer of grout or any other hardening terrarium substrate.

Building your own Formicarium is easy and super fun. I made my own last night using a Tupperware, plaster, and hand carving tools. You get to be creative and it's super inexpensive(I only paid 1$ for two Tupperware bowls and already had plaster on hand). Plus you can get innovative using different shaped containers or different tunnel patterns. Just a suggestion.
