Added more formicariums. Some of which were brand new and never used.

I feel these formicariums are so iconic, like something from glory days of ant-keeping.

Lol! The free one is actually one I built in one of the tutorials. It's a relic to the past. :lol:

A few others are from the same era.

And let's throw in the grout formicarium. Like antdrew said. Too iconic.

The cube ones come from Uline.com/uline.ca.

Those larger rectangle ones come from a place that no longer exists.

Some oddball ones come from dollar stores, in the kitchen section.

Are you you referring to the hinge containers? I bought them all and looked around for those containers after the fact. I could never find them, but I can sell you some of the ones I don't have tarantulas or ants in lol.
