Uncle Milton Ant Farms

The Original Sand Ant Farm Formicarium.  I remember as a child reading the directions and setting it up.  They were so cool.  You could send away for your Uncle Milton ant certificate from the back of comic books back then.  The long wait and then you had your own little ant colony although no queen.

Well these have advanced a little bit since then especially with the new gel ant farms but you still can get the Uncle Milton Sand Ant farm with live ants from yesteryear. 

Uncle Milton makes a variety of units such as the original ant farms that we all grew up with.  My favorite is the green gel based ant farms made of an agar substance where the little critters eat the space age gel.  This means we don't have to worry about opening the container and feeding the live ants since they eat this stuff.

The Giant and Vintage are pretty interesting as well when it comes to ant habitats.
