I need someone who specializes in formicariums. I want a escape proof, complex formicarium for ants the size of 2 inches. And 3 for ants the size of Solenopsis, a little bigger . My budget is decent . Pm me.

Those aren't necessarily cheap or decently priced formicariums.

Ricardo, If price really isn't the problem in buying a formicarium. My personal maker is nardimai. He has a youtube channel if you want to check him out. https://www.youtube....r/SuperKilloran

Haha Annexis I don't think Mika is your personal nest maker ;-) He makes nests for the general public. Or did you mean 'your go to guy'? I don't recall Nardimai sending nests to the USA :-)

 

I'm in love with my Nardinests, I own about 12 of them. Just two days ago I recieved my custom Nardinest 6 and a nebula honeypot. I also own the Nardinest 5, both nests are featured on his YouTube page.

Why don't you try Tar Heel Ants atom nests? Those are quite small and work well. Also they are quite professional nests.
