Anyone know if Tar Heel Ants and any other sites sell formicariums for Trachymyrmex Septentrionalis? I’m having a hard time finding one.

You’d probably want a dirt set up that’s large. I think for a founding colony you should get one of dspdrew‘a dirt box set-ups. The fungus would probably outgrow other formicariums unless they are quite big.
My Ants:
(x1) Campontous semitstaceus ~20 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Camponotus vicinus ~10 workers, 1 Queen (all black variety)
(x1) Tetramorium immigrans ~100 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Myrmercocystus mexicanus -1 Queen
(x2) Mymercocystus mimcus -1 Queen
(x1) Mymercocystus testaceus ~45 workers, 1 Queen
