Here's some photos of a nest I've made for selling. :)
It's 4 inches in diameter, and can hold a few thousand Crematogaster sized ants, or around 500 Camponotus sized ants.
The nest also has 15mm of livable height for the ants.

Now I know what I might get for my Crematogaster succeed and reach thousands.

Crematogaster can be moved in as early as around 500 workers! I've got 2 Crematogaster colonies in the nests right now.

great nests, and they really seem to work well too, as shown by the number of brood for that crematogaster.

Hey just like how the aus ants acrylic nests and they give more layers now. These look very good and are probably the same as ausant nest which in my opinion is a very good nest. But one key difference is aus ants sells a 4 inch block for 35 dollars and a 8 inch block for 80.

Their small nest is smaller in width and height, and is $45 not including shipping.
