Looking for suggestions, requirements, recommendations for a (preferably commercially available) formicarium suitable for housing myrmecocystus mexicanus. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

any of the formicariums here --> https://tarheelants.com/collections/founding-formicaria-1 should work for small colonies. I think all nests with a ceiling that is not glass/acrylic/plastic is fine.(for the repleats to hold on to.)

also be careful because nest's of this brand have been known to have a smell from production that might be bad for ants although it goes away after some airing out. Also of note they claim to have fixed it and they seem to have, just a heads up.
