Looks so cool. Will you be selling them? It looks very high tech(in my opinion). How do you hydrate it?

I can probably make them to order, they are hydrated by the two tubes in the back which lead to the water towers

Looks like it would work really well. Nicely done.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

I really like it. Good design. Is there any way to have smaller chambers inside the nest so that smaller species would be more comfortable?

Looks good. I think it would be really cool if there were, "islands" for lack of better word. If that makes sense. Similarly to THA's nests. Something so that the ants have more close areas to nest in; it may make them feel more comfortable.
