The Size 2 nest is ideal for a colony up to 100 adult workers.
It contains 2 chambers which are 4cm x 2cm in size.
This is a perfect nest for a young colony.
Our latest range of acrylic horizontal ant nests provide maximum nesting capacity in the smallest of space with the added benefits of a crystal clear view of your entire colony - great for taking photos!
These nests come in a range of sizes and capacities to suit many ant species and budgets.
Our nest expansions system uses our easy to use 'sawtooth' connectors which allow you to expand the capacity of your nest without the need for any tubing.
Each nest has a humidity chamber which provides a humidity gradient throughout the nest.
On this nest the humidity chambers can be removed.
Every nest includes a red acrylic nest cover, a short length of the appropriate sized tubing and a pipette for hydrating the nest.
Our nests are available with 9mm (medium) and 13mm (large) tubing connectors. Please make sure your formicaria is compatible.
Material – Acrylic, Stainless steel, cellulose Sponge Measurements (L x W x H) - 7 x 7.5 x 2cm
Best nest to start your colony compared to the price

This is a great product my colony of Harpegnathos venator moved into this three days ago and seem to be doing really well
I would highly recommend this great product

I was a little concerned with how long the moisture took to build up inside the nest, it took around a week, but maintained humidity for almost 3 weeks. Applying moisture every 7 days keeps the habitat at a level my Lasius Niger colony is comfortable with, though I expect a more frequent refill when the colony has reached the capacity of the habitat.

Connectors should be on sale
Just a tip for all of your products: they have multiple entrance/exits but nothing to block it with, it won’t be a problem for a larger colony because you have things to connect but with all in ones and stater kits you don’t

Best place ever.
The AntKit Acrylic Nest Series 3 (Size 2) (Medium) is by far the best start for your colony, I have many different species of ants from Lasius to Myrmecia, I wouldn't recommend this for large ants as my brown bull ants wouldn't even fit but it's brilliant for lasius and that kind of size, small to small-medium, get the large size 2 for medium ants such as messor.
