It looks like there are some new formicariums on the market! Ants Australia has some Ytong nests available. I compared prices between them and tarheelants. The larger nests from Ants Australia (size 5 and 6) seem to be similar in price to tarheelants, but tarheelants formicariums include outworlds, better hydration systems, and overall look better. The smaller sizes from Ants Australia though (size 1-4) seem to be pretty good deals. What do you all think?

I think you should go DSP DREW, Tarheel has lost my liking due to some bad products I received.

I just received a size 03 and size 04 nest from Ants Australia. They do look nice, but the nests seem to dry out quickly.

Hi, I also ordered number 2 and 3. I have same issue, nests absorb water fast and they don't seem to retain it well.
