Environmental Control
Environmental control – external water feeders can be added for species requiring higher humidity.
Unlimited Configurations
Unlimited customization – modules can be configured in endless ways to suit the colony’s needs.
Safe and Smooth Relocation
Safe ant relocation – when the colony grows, simply add another module to expand the living space seamlessly.
