Got out of the hobby, have this sitting around. It will need a new piece of glass on one side as I cracked it.

It is museum glass. I will also throw in two smaller formicariums, the rectangle one is also missing glass

Shipped $160

I don’t think anyone is going to buy a broken formicarium, unless it is extremely cheap.


Also, i may be completely wrong on this, but that might be type II material, which is toxic to ants and was discontinued because of this.

The fact that it has been airing out for years should mean something, also it has museum glass which for something like that formicarium would literally double to cost. Overall it is a really good deal but I think just to be safe the seller should test out some wild ants on it.
