Those are a perfect fit. Wish we had something so perfect here, haha.

 

EDIT: Soul found them. I believe it is the exact one.

How come the example picture they have has a black one? They seem to have the same SKU too.

Those would be so nice to have. Love how compact and stackable it is. I'm going to post my Pogonomyrmex subnitidus setup tomorrow. It's big. It takes up so much space especially for only 15 workers. Something like this would be perfect.

 

Just checked and I have two Daiso nearby and I'll raid them tomorrow. 

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

Yep, very stackable.

Yeah, sucks. You can't get it online because it is "assorted" colors. I've tried. You have to walk into the store and grab them.

Speaking of P. subntidus, here is mine with about 20 workers in that setup:

Are the colors a bit transparent? Personally I don't mind color if I can see the ants. If not I'll get someone to walk in and ship them to me. Shipping is nuts haha! I bought 20, but if you say they aren't good I'll cancel that haha.

 You ordered 20 sets of 10? That's a lot. I wouldn't mind them either if they were transparent with color. If you don't end up cancelling you should share what they look like.

Well this was last year when I tried, and they had an assortment of colors and not just black and clear. It could all be clear now for all we know.

Thanks for being our guinea pig Soul!

I didn't email them to make them all clear, hoping for the best. Should be here in a few days, on the other side of the states :P

This is the email I sent, for anybody else on the fence-- can't hurt to wait until Kevin's shipment arrives though
