Hi all,

As you can see my formicarium is quite deep (the seal is not staying like that by the way). I wondered is there any harm in literally cutting the formicarium in half so I can make 2?
Just wondered if it would make any difference to humidity/watering etc? It just seems like the bottom is wasted space?

Thanks all...

I think that would be a smart way to save material. We can’t even get this stuff on this side of the pond.

I’ll be honest Drew, it’s really cheap over here, can get it for £1.75 a block! I bought 2 and will last me for the foreseeable future! So with regards to savings materials I’m not too fussed, just didn’t want it to affect the formicarium in any way.
