Using the options allows you to customize the Casita III and make it a suitable for all ant species!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Pdf file is available for this formicarium, please email us at tarheelants@gmail.com for an emailed copy***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with your Casita Type III?\u003c\/strong\u003e  All necessary stoppers, nest unit and foraging area (attached), syringe and blunt-tip adapter,  and other accessories where needed (nestmates, add-ons etc.).  We also will email out a Casita PDF instruction guide upon request via email.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e***This formicarium takes a minimum of 3-4 weeks to complete upon ordered.  All of our formicaria are made-to-order (other than the Immediate Shipping Page items) and are made based on the options you choose during the order process.   During peak seasons (summer and early fall mainly) this time may increase  If you have any questions reach out to us at tarheelants@gmail.com!***\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTar Heel Ants ©2015.
