Hello liamsantics;

I've posted photos and descriptions of diy starter formicaria in the Formicariums and Outworlds section on Page 40-41.  Most of the materials are easily obtained from a hardware store, gardening center, and dollar store.

The acrylic cube is 8x8x10 cm high (3.5x3.5 x 4 inches high), just big enough for a founding colony fresh out of the test tube.

 

Good Luck

RPT
