Compared to basically everyone's home-made formicariums, mine look like they were made by preschoolers. None the less, i'll post some random pictures of my little projects.
The stuff I use to make this stuff:
A screwdriver
Tweezers
A lighter
Plaster of Paris
random containers
My t shirt (to stop dust)
Formicariums I have right now::
The most basic one:
It is basically a acrylic container with a layer of plaster which has a ditch in the middle and a piece of plastic to cover it.
currently housing my oocerea biroi, it is dirty as hell, but the oocerea see to like it that way.
formicarium 2
Similar to the first one, but with glass instead of plastic and some chambers. currently housing my large pheidole colony.
formicarium 3
I found an interesting box a few days back and decided to make a small formicarium out of it. This is the final product.
hydration chamber
size
It will probably house this colony of pheidole when they grow larger.
