Kiedeerk's formicarium building skills has ascended to a level beyond mortal comprehension.

 

I'm going to edit a question I just had so I don't clog up the forums:

Can Hydrocal go bad?  Like, if it goes past a certain date is it still okay to use for formicaria, or should you just buy a whole new batch entirely?

It shouldn’t go bad really. It’s basically cement powder. Keep it somewhere dry

I’ve kept Hobby Lobby Perfect Cast in storage for over a year, and it works fine. Only excessive moisture would ruin it.
