Would people be interested in a nice looking wooden test tube rack? It would have solid sides except the top where it would have a cloth you could lift to see the ants. It would also have clips for a heating cable so you could run one along the end of the test tubes. I might also include a digital thermometer. If there is interest I would sell on the AntsDakota site. 

of course! If you are interested in selling them, please send me pics and the price in a PM! i would love to sell them!

 

Anyone else interested? Hoping to see like 10 people interested before I really invest time and money in making some. Also I may be able to get Neivamyrmex nigrescens

yes! that would be great! those seem rare around formiculture.

also, i am interested. i really need a stackable test tube holder. maybe make different sizes for different test tubes.

No promises though. Assuming I get out of the house to the place. I'd still have to find them. Hopefully they're still there.

Here's a picture of what it might look like. This is the test tube rack I use. It alternates between 16 and 20 mm test tubes. I just put a cloth on top and use tape to attach the heating cable. The actual thing would be more professional.

That would be very convenient for keeping the test tubes dark!

[Ants_Dakota]

i feel like you could paint it, because that would be cool. also, maybe put the tubes closer together, too, to make it have more value.

[M_Ants]

For sure. I could fit way more test tubes in there. What color do you recommend? I was thinking of doing some sort of stain.

sounds good!

You could let people pick their color.

[Ants_Dakota]

stain sounds cool as well. there are different colors as well. maybe start with 2, and then expand if people really want it.

I updated the main page a few days ago, it now looks much better.

I also worked on making our Discord Server's rules look both appealing, easy to read, and slightly humorous.
