Thank you! The smaller one I actually had Aphaenogaster in mind when I made it, since I heard they liked higher humidity. I've got mine in one of those. The other one's pretty much a THA nest I attempted to make that ended up a bit too large for anything I currently have.

Camponotus unavailable. However, since I need these off my hands as soon as possible, I'll be selling the rest of my products and formicariums for 25% off. Offer is available for the week of 6/26 only.

Is the tubing used for the formicarium's 3/8 inch outside or inside?

I'm guessing inside

Because I'll be out-of-state, my shop is officially closed until August 3rd. Any purchases will not be shipped until the week I return.

I usually get most of my containers from Daiso, including the one I used for the outworld. I assume you mean the desert themed one?

Hmmm, I’ve never seen a Daiso here on the east coast.

That’s interesting, I thought Daiso was pretty widespread. Maybe it’s more common in Cali? I saw a couple on vacation in Southeast Asia though.
