***This formicarium takes between 10-14 business days to complete once ordered. All of our formicaria are handmade-to-order. Our busiest periods during the year are from May to August and November and December. During these months the times for completion will likely be much longer than normal. Please email us at tarheelants@gmail.com with questions about order times and completion dates. We will respond to these requests as quickly as possible. We try to stock our “Immediate Shipping Page” with several available products that are premade. Please check this page if you need something faster than our quoted shipping times.*****
