Hello - 

 

I have a few Colonies of pheidole megacephala.  Two are still in test tubes and one is in a Dirt Box (which is cool).  I am looking for new setups for the two colonies that are in the tubes now.  

 

I love the design of the dirt box and the ants seem to be thriving in it.  The one thing that I don't like is that I can not see all the ongoings in the nest.  I would love something similar with the nest and outworld as one piece, but have tunnels instead of sand. 

 

I've tried making my own, but I can't seem to get it right.

 

Does anyone know of a product available for purchase that would meet my needs?

 

Thanks,

[T.C.]

I'd check out Tarheel ants. He's got something like what your describing.

You could also try ants Australia. They have perfect acrylic nests for pheidole. Personally I don’t like tarheel as I had a pheidole colony in it and they escaped somehow. I didn’t even attach an outworld.

Which nest were you using?

Thank you both.  The Tar Heel products look exactly like what I was thinking.  

 

Spamdy, would you mind expanding on the trouble you had and which product you had?

 

Thanks again,

That was Derpy, not me.  If you go on the Tar Heel Ants Shop right now, his Atoms which I assume you are looking for aren't there. There is the Atom nest though. Through recent contact with Mack, they have taken it off due to wanting to add more options to the Formicarium. You should be able to order it from him through gmail at tarheelants@gmail.com. The new customer service is amazing. (responded to my email within 12 hours)

I had an atom C yet and kept the opening plugged as they were a small colony. Needless to say they still found a way out of the formicaruim.

You need to be careful with Tarheelants, wash out your formicarium before use and make sure the plugs are secured properly
