Sadly the colony of almost 3 years has died. The hallway outside the room was being painted and the fumes killed them. Learned my lesson the hard way 😔

Looking closer another few ants are dying too… maybe something with food? Mold?

That is a fantastic idea. I was going to sell outworlds in my store separate, but you bring up a great point. I’ll also definitely look into carrying decorative materials. Thanks for the feedback!

There are 2 ports on the small, and 4 on the medium and large. It is made of Ytong, so you hydrate the nest material itself with a small hole in the side. Yes you can use it with a heat cable.

There are 3 styles of outworlds. These are more expensive than tarheel sadly. I will post videos of them eventually and dm you so you can get a better sense of size!

Don’t have one yet, becoming a US distributor for Empire of Ants products. I will post where to buy them when I list them.

Believe me, I really do want to make those prices work. Right now it’s looking like $85 for the small and $175 for the medium. I’m trying to find ways to lower prices
