Sorry for the blurry pic, but was a quick one as relocated this to better keep an eye on it. It's a prototype nest I've been testing for ants, and this is a Pogonomyrmex occidentalis ants founding nest.
The white spots towards the middle are her brood pile she was moving as I moved it and disturbed her.
This nest lets me hydrate from top or bottom and with a high clay compound that should reduce risk of collapse.

After keeping ants for the last several years, decided to try a different design for a formicarium. This is for Pogonomyrmex occidentalis. I had success with a mix of native Arizona fine sand, and Zoomed clay digging material with a H. arizonensis vivarium and creating stable tunnels.
The tubes along the top and sides are vents. On the bottom is a tray I can inject water for hydration.
One of the first prints I did off my new printer 😊
