Hey formiculture,

I've been looking for some formicariums to house my queens, because I have a TON from this season.
I'm going to need a few of these, so if possible it would be great to get them at a low price.

Crematogaster cerasi

Pheidole bicarinata

Camponotus chromaiodes

Formica sp. (microgena species)

That isn't substrate. It is grout with sand stuck in it. There is a tiny amount of sand but it's not nearly enough for ants to dig in it. I bought one of these https://tarheelants....-chamber-3-inch

 for my S. molesta colony.
