Formicaria & Ant Keeping Supplies - SHIPS ANYWHERE IN THE U.S (Shipping done via USPS Priority or Ground ; Buyer pays for shipping) PM me if interested!
Firebrick Nests (Very similar to AAC or Ytong)
The moisture retentive properties of firebrick lead to stable humidity levels while insulative properties help keep temperature fluctuations to a minimum (similar to the underground). The material is much more ant friendly than acrylic or plastic nests as it's porous surface makes it easy for all species to grip onto and allows a healthy amount of airflow. Glass is custom cut for every formicarium in order to ensure a perfect fit. All of my formicaria are designed to be compatible with most North American ant species that have basic founding needs. All formicaria can be hydrated via pipette or syringe. 5 inches of 3/8" tubing and a pipette is included with every order. Removable glass is optional (PM me for details).
Founding Formicarium 25$ - 0 available - (More can be made to order) Roughly 4.5" x 4.5" x 2"Each formicarium is hand made so each one is unique
