aah thank u for the fast reply , as u might think i want to build my own formicarium, is float glass good for this purpose? or do the ants for some reason dont like it?
of the sides + bottom 100x50x03 and the other 2 sides 50x50x03 but how do u cut those little holes for the tubes? is there somekind of tool for this or can it only be done by a official manafacturer?
i'm sorry for al the questions but i want to get an idea before i contact u for all the measures, materials etc.

Thanks in advance

All of our glas formicarium consist of float glas. So until now we don´t have any bad experience.
If you want to cut the holes by yourself you need a special glasdrill, because you need to drill the glas from inside and outside. but special orders like that can also be made in our own workshop. I like to note that the shipping of special glas orders which are bigger than 60cm is always on customers risk except you choose shipping by a fowarding agency like dachser. But in that case you have to expect costs about 100€ and more.
