I am in the works of a miniature mini hearth style formicarium and just finished the bottom half. I want to see what you guys think. I will post again when the next part is finished. For now would you or would you not buy this:

I’d be honored to sell it on your sight. The finished product which will be shown soon I will be asking for price suggestions. The most similar suggestion wins. I will only take the suggestions if they are reasonable though.

I suggest leaving more room up top for applying an escape barrier.

There will be an outworld attatched to it so that empty space is not going to be in use. Will update photo when finished.

How does hydration work in it? Is that a water tower I see?

there is a lot of space in the back that could be used for formicarium space. that would make the value better, and have it bought more.

I might use it if it's cheap. There's a bit too muck open space though, maybe add a 2nd floor? Also what is going to be used for hydration?
