Down The Ant Hill Outworld

A custom designed container just for ants! Perfect conversation pieces that come with a top ledge 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 6"x6"x5"or 15cm x 15cm x 12cmcontainers and are compatible with any of the formicaria on our website. The holes on the outworld are 1/2 inch or 12.7mm. Outworlds come with an adapter to change the tubing size.

Basic Features

• 15cm x 15cm x 12 cm
• High quality, scratch-resistant and shipping resistant PMMA acrylic
• 4mm feet to allow for heat cables to be run under the terrarium
• Rounded corners and edges for easy clean-up

Escape Prevention

• Removable rim and lid for fluon or other escape barrier application
• Stainless steel mesh lid for ventilation and containment
• Cross ventilation from vents at the side of the outworld (Can contain the smallest ants but thief ants and pharaoh ants). The width of the vents is around 0.5mm, slightly smaller than the width of the smallest ants we sell.
