Hi, I made a 12" by 16" ultracal nest a little while ago, but it came out a little shallow, maybe around 1" deep, and I'm looking to trade it for around $80-90 worth of ants. 

 

Destructive ants like pogonomyrmex would probably not be the best fit for this, but most others will do fine here. 

 

Aside from that, it is completely fine with 3 working water towers and a lot of space. I would prefer to trade it for ants; the species I am looking for currently are veromessor andrei and pergandei, or pogonomyrmex maricopa and rugosus. I might also be open to myrmecocystus sp. 

 

I live in SoCal and would prefer to meet up in person. I have attached pictures of said nest. 

 

My discord is Greendayfan#1909 if you want to contact me there. 

 

Thanks!

Forgot to mention and/or show it, but the nest does have a glass cover and I can drill an entrance hole to any size requests

How deep is it. Would you think that it could house large Camponotus.
Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia

The nest is an inch thick. Some of the chamber reach kind of far down into that inch, so I wouldn't recommend it for any destructive species. Camponotus should be fine though, I am not too knowledgeable but I don't think they chew through it.
