Ant Clean Nest 5x15 Formicarium Module

A Medium Nest for Your Ant Colony

This nest is the nice size for allowing your colony to grow beyond the founding stage. With multiple exits, it's easy to expand the nest as needed. You can enlarge it, attach a Thermo/Hydro meter (available separately), or even place a heating cable underneath using our optional nest legs.

•INCLUDED IN THIS SET:
-a PLA nest (3D printed) measuring 5x15cm (1.97x5.91 Inch)
-a separate white removable inner part made of PLA (3D printed)
-a 3mm transparent plexiglass cover with a hole for nest humidification
-5 nest ports (4 closed ports to seal extra openings and 1 open port to connect the nest to an external world)
-Melamine Sponge for effective moisture absorption
-Stainless steel mesh to keep ants out of the reservoir

•BENEFITS
• The white removable inner part is perfect if the exterior is a different color than white, 
so that you can always see the ants clearly.
• The plexiglass is secured with Allen screws mounted in copper threads, 
so that making disassembly easy for a task, like cleaning the nest.
• The port with an opening can accommodate a small tube (OD 10mm) or a large tube (ID 12mm) (not included) so that you always find the perfect tube for your setting.
• The humidification chamber is filled with Melamine Sponge for efficient moisture absorption. Excess moisture drains from the sides to prevent it from entering the nest. The stainless steel mesh keeps ants out of the reservoir and can be easily cleaned or replaced if necessary.
• The nest features four extra openings (10mm) that allow for expansion, so that adding a temperature and humidity sensor or a second nest is very easy

OPTIONS:
• The nest is available in multiple colors so there is always a colour you prefer.

• 3mm red (transparent) acrylic cover plate, providing darkness for the ants (in most cases) while allowing you to observe their progress.

• Additional types of nest ports can be purchased separately.

• Nest legs can be purchased separately, elevating the module slightly to accommodate a heating cable underneath.
