I am running out of room where I currently keep all my ant colonies and was wondering where do people keep all of their ants? If you want to attach a picture please do so!

Thank You

Evan

I would buy a cheap shelf or floating shelf at walmart. They are like $40.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

I keep my ants on a shelfing unit in my living room.

Some of my colonies need hibernation, these formicaria I place into a box on my balcony, and if it is getting too freezing for them, they will be placed into a unheated attic room.
