Where to Find Outworld containers
So I need an outworld container that I good for ants. I have not been able to find anything (online or in store) that has a gasket (or sealed decently well), clear, and tall enough for a barrier and some viewing area. What do you guys use, or would suggest using that is online or in a store that is pretty much everywhere? (Besides aquarium tanks)

Your local grocery could work. Also, look up the container store.

Glass tanks found in Aquariums or pet shops do well, also I haven't used these myself but I have heard of specifically designed containers t house crickets could be used.

I went to my local place and the cheapest one that somewhat meets my standards (besides the height) was $12 ...is that considered to be reasonable and/or cheap?

Yea, maybe. I think the holes on the top would be to big though, unless I bought mesh.

I use these round plastic containers from Wal-Mart they have a locking lid and with some work on the lid, I make it to where there is at least 3/4"-1" lip for my Fluon and I put my screen on top as extra precaution. They cost me anywhere from like $7-$15. With the different sizes, I can use them for starting colonies to bigger one's. I can take pics of you would like to see what I do to them exactly
