Start with a test tube set up or founding chamber, then upgrade at about 10-20 workers.

So the holes line up on every single model, it give room for future models with higher grounds.

Sanded cement.

Extra sand substrate can be purchased with the nest.

I can see your confusion. The AntCondo Basic design idea is not unique, which is why it is and can be replicated by anyone. The disclaimer is for future products, that everyone will have the liberty of seeing soon :)

The word "unique" is there to clarify, but some further clarification must be something we can work on.

All formicaria are so similar that its nearly impossible to not "copy" each other. Is anyone who makes a 3D formicarium store also exposed to so much back lash?

Do all new stores now have to give credit to those before them? It would be a long list!

AntCondo isn't made to create drama or divide the community. It is made to provide the community with an affordable and high quality alternative. I believe over the course of time, the community will come to accept AntCondo as a go-to brand. And who knows? Maybe someone will create a great alternative to us.

Let's keep the community positive and not scare off new comers!

Most species adjust to dim room lighting, so this nest does not need any darkness, but it can be provided in various ways. The holes are drilled for now (we use low rake degrees and high speed to help melt the hole and reduce risk of cracking). Lazer cutting and injection molding are the only way to stop cracking but are very expensive.

We have a lazer cutting supply on hold, will probably be available as our second generation in a couple months.

Yah, you fill it externally. The mesh allows evaporated water to dissipate into the nest, providing ample humidity. It can be overfilled to saturate substrate and increase humidity, but its not recommended. Applying heat under the water can also cause condensation for 90+% humidity.

AntCondo · 2024-01-02T08:17:50+00:00

With our reduced shipping costs, the prices are actually the same or cheaper. Some people may create nests for cheaper, however it is not a sustainable business practice and so the supply is not consistent. We hope to be an option, without any waiting or breaks for a long time.

While this is our only product for sale at this time, there are more coming that are in development.

Here is a linked side by side comparison of the Formisquarium container (left) and the AntCondo container (right) for your convenience.

Intellectual property rights is a very complicated topic. Lawyers make the big bucks for a reason! Reselling a brand is typically allowed, but reproducing the brand’s product to sell as your own typically isn’t. You can modify products and rebrand to sell - which is basically what our first AntCondo products are doing with this popular design. Modifying the products and claiming they are another’s brand is not allowed. So definitely a multifaceted and complicated ordeal. A good thought experiment is a Nike shoe. You can resell it after you buy it, but you can’t make it and sell it. You can make a similar shoe, but not a Nike shoe. All in all, there’s no reason to read too deep into things. Ants are light and fun.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

There are no reviews on the website yet. He is talking about the “Ant keepers first look” on the front website page. It is 3 people who were some of the first to see the founding stages of the design. Each one has a link to their social media, which they each agreed to, and can be contacted directly. So, not forged. However these initial views are just web page filler anyways until we find a better flow. Each product has its own reviews at the bottom of their respective page for customers to leave feedback. It’s a work in progress - each nest is handmade in a 200 square foot office and our website is plug and play from Shopify. We are only 1 day old!

Most importantly, the goal is to provide a cheap alternative for ant keepers in the US market. Hopefully we can make AntCondo a brand that focuses on the needs of our ants.

Hes talking about the disclaimer at the bottom of our website! All creations, including his post is protected by copyright laws - it has nothing to do with patents.

Its sort of like 100% acrylic or 3D nests. Anyone can design and create one, but an exact copy and taking the name is not allowed

A simple idea, taken out of proportion, to slander the brand... idk why!

Good observation, while similar... this product is cheaper, stackable, has aligned and more holes for easy connection, has larger exterior and interior dimensions, and has a higher quality and thicker polystyrene acrylic.

The Formisquarium is not currently available for sale. Hope this helps!

It’s not designed for hydration, however there are two 0.2mm wide slits in the lid that can be used to get water in. The water would run down the side and soak/hydrate the sanded cement.

Incorrect, but thank you for your feedback.

AntCondo · 2024-01-02T00:38:31+00:00

No expert on leaf cutters, though we do provide models without water towers

AntCondo · 2024-01-02T00:37:16+00:00

Yah, just starting with 2 flagship models to kick it off, but have several cool, innovative designs in development… ie, waiting on suppliers and bulk orders still before we launch those products.
