No colonies or formicariums for sale at the moment.

 

 

 

Formicarium pouring molds - Make your own ant nests! Selling 2 extra wooden side molds I do not need.  These are for 5x7 nests and will contain grout, hydrostone, plaster, etc. when pouring a nest.

Like the wooden ones seen in my Grout formicarium building video.

They are $10 per set.

 

 

 

 

Outworlds/Foraging Areas:  

 

Empty Outworld 7"x5"x5"  $18   $12ea - have over thirty that must go. Cheaper than what I bought them for. Make your own outworld or ant nest!

For a 5x7 with a medium outworld it would be $20 (or possibly less).

Hmm... I might buy a colony or formicarium.

I'll talk to my parents.


Here's my leopard gecko/ant youtube: https://goo.gl/cRAFbK

 

My ant website.

It contains a lot of information about ants, guides, videos, links, and more!

If you have any feedback, please post here or PM me, don't be shy!

Hey Crys, where do you find those containers that you have your test tube and feeders in? Looks perfect for when the nanitics first eclose and you want to open up the nest to let them feed.

That was why I first bought them.  I got them from www.maplecraftinc.com  I bought the last of the clear ones and they were being discontinued when I bought them last year.

 

I seem to have bought a few too many of them though, so I am selling them for $2ea.

Tpro, here-   This is where I get my test tubes from, and I think Drew gets his from here as well: http://www.lcmlab.co...ults.asp?Cat=31

I forget the specific size I use, but I think Drew can tell you that, we use the same size.

You can buy tubing at a local Home Depot or DIY Center.

I do sell glass test tubes for 30 cents each. 

Tubing is most easily obtained at any hardware store in the plumbing section.   You can commonly find 10" foot sections coiled up for $3, or pick your custom length off of a roll of it.

I'm located in northern Alberta, Canada. 

 

I have no problem with cash, the problem is that the cash would have to safely travel in an envelope across two countries.  If you wish to try you can, but if it goes missing in transit there isn't anything I can do unless the envelope has a tracking number (which costs money).

I sure would like one of the 3"x5" nests with outworld #3.  How much would that total with shipping to 95129?

 

Also, do you have an aspirator for sale?  Do you use an aspirator for catching escapees and moving workers around and whatnot?
