The Illuminated Ant Farm

This seems to be the most popular ant farm at the moment. I guess it was developed by NASA for some reason and then sold to toy companies. I can't figure out why NASA would design an ant farm? Did they just design the edible gel or the whole ant farm? Anyway, it's pretty cool because the ants live and eat the space age gel and therefore no need to feed them. The habitat itself is only 6 x 1.3 x 6.5 inches, and that is my biggest complaint with any of the ant farms on the market. It can probably support about 30-40 ants. Seeing as how ants only have about a 3 month lifespan, they will probably die off about the time you run out of gell. I'd like to see a much bigger ant farm someday with a flat surface for foraging and with enough room for hundreds of ants. Maybe they'll let us ship queens across the country someday. Until then, we're all stuck digging them up ourselves.
Overall, I'd say it's better than most of the other ant farms out there simply because of the gel.
