New additions to the shop! Turns out that I'm too impatient to wait until after winter for my Formica ravida queen to lay, so here she is. Veromessor andrei also added.

 

Edit: Aaaaaand she's claimed!

Pencil case formicariums sold, but more on the way soon. I recently made a formicarium designed after THA's Mini Hearth — made with Perfect Plaster rather than UltraCal or hydrostone. Only one so far, but I have enough supplies for up to three more preorders, which I can customize. Feel free to send me a PM if interested!

Priced fixed for the large Hearth-style formicariums. Can also request to preorder and customize MiniHearth-style formicariums if preferred. Price will remain $20 each for those. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any additional questions...

Updated shop! New species and formicaria available. $5 discount if you purchase a colony with a formicarium. Each product purchased will also come with a "dud" of choice if interested (since I'm trying to get ants I'm not interested off my shelf). Feel free to PM me for any inquiries.

Bump again. Please let me know if anyone needs custom-made formicariums. I'll be more than happy to design one for a decent price...

Bump. Can negotiate on prices (except shipping costs) if multiple bought. Need these formicaria gone so I can have room for my next batch, which are coming out next week...
