Perfect conversation pieces that come with a vented hatch on top to keep in those pesky escape artists. A ledge in the outworld allows the upside-down application of fluon and other anti-escape barriers, which are a must for containing Crematogaster, Tapinoma, and other species of ants.

These outworlds are 4"x4"x4"or 10cmx10cmx10cm cubes and are compatible almost all of our formicarium. The holes on the outworld are 3/8 inch or 9.5mm.

(If you're not sure about the hole arrangement, it may be best to select Zero, and drill holes later)

Hole Arrangements Go As Follows:

Zero: No holes (Most Popular)

C: Holes on 2 opposite sides

D: Holes on 2 adjacent sides

E: Hole on 1 side
