Yea I got rid of the detachable glass because it had some issues, but I’ll get better pictures of a perfect one I’m making so that one is just basically a model and I think I’m going to make the outside color purple and leave it like that.

I haven't decided to make any this week because schoolwork and traveling, plus I'm meeting someone this weekend but maybe next week i will get started on a design. Also any ants that people buy from me on here that are in a custom nest (depending on size) are free unless said so.
