These nests from us are shipped with our in-house (150 x 150 x 125 mm) acrylic Down The Ant Hill Outworlds. If you want a specific type of outworld, select custom and add a note to specify which outworld..
Features:
- The nest dimensions are 15cm x 10cm x 4cm (6" x 4" x 1.6")
- Rotating gates. Three gates split the nest into 3 components, allowing you to control access to different parts of the nest. This nest can be used for sizes ranging from a founding colony to a mid-sized maturing colony.
- Slide and click walls for modular access to other nests with no moving parts.
- Two water chambers to allow for evaporative humidity control in all sides of the nest. These chambers are rimmed and can be overflowed to humidify the plaster.
- Rubber feet to allow easy heat cable placement
