Hello, my name is Snow and I am the founder of AntCondo™. We are a brand new ant supply shop started on January 1st, 2024 in the United States. The US has a formicaria problem. Keeping ants has become a DIY experiment, increasingly expensive, and complicated. The market is saturated with low quality 3D nests and Chinese sourced 100% acrylic nests that are bad for your ants. The alternatives are hand-made high quality cement nests that come with the expense of high dollars and long turn-around times. AntCondo™ is bringing it back to the basics with affordable, high quality nests, exactly when you need them. It is my goal to supply the US with a new wave of space-efficient modulation, low cost, and effectiveness that just provide your ants with exactly what they need; a home.

I hope to gain your support in this goal and help build on the amazing ant keeping community. You can come support this goal by checking out AntCondo.com.

These look more like outworlds than nests. There is too much open space for it to be good for a small or medium sized colony, it will create too much draft and airflow. That's why many smaller species dislike THA Mini Hearths, I've had first hand experience with that. It's too big of an open chamber. I also concur that the idea is not original. Great marketing pitch though.
