What makes the Casita Different?
The Casita nest area covers two (or three using options) adjacent sides. This is currently the only nest that is offered that includes this configuration. The original Casita was the first Tar Heel Ants formicarium released with a gravity well hydration system. This feature allows for water to be added into a hidden reservoir through a small opening on the side. The water then wicks downwards and outwards from the wells location aided by gravity and the natural absorption action of the Ytong stone. The Casita, at 4äó? x 8äó?x 4äó? in total size (WxHxL) is great for situations where saving space is a priority.
