Formiculture came online on September 10th of 2013.

To celebrate Formiculture's anniversary I am holding a draw to give away a handmade formicarium. 

 

There will be one winner who will have a choice of one of the following:  The larger 5"x7" firebrick formicarium, the smaller 3"x5" firebrick formicarium, or ten 18mm x 150mm test tubes.

The person who wins the draw will only have to pay shipping.  Shipping is very likely between $15-25, but feel free to ask for a quote (please provide your country, state/province, and postal code when asking).

If you wish to be included in the draw, please reply to this thread and include something like "Count me in" or "Please include me".  The last day to join the draw is October 1!   (Midnight according to Mountain Standard Time (MST))

I will use https://www.random.org/lists/ to pick the winner.

Please include me.  I'm new to ant keeping this summer, and this looks like a great home for one of the queens I've collected.
