The Size 8 nest is ideal for a colony up to several hundred adult workers. It contains 8 chambers which are 4cm x 2cm in size. 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) - 11.5 x 15 x 2cm
Fantastic product, my Messor ants moved in within a few hours. Front chambers stay dry for seeds/food and back chambers are nice and humid. Tubing connects well to the two connectors.

The sponge doesn't get moldy and only te ants can get it dirty, good for colony expansion

I’ve never had a bad word to say about anything I have received from Antkit U.K. and as usual they didn’t disappoint with the series 4 size 8 nest.
I set it up and connected my small Camponotus colony of just under 30 workers, brood and queen and left them over night.
By the morning they had moved the colony look comfortable and happy whilst they keep expanding.
I can say with confidence that this is a great nest for a young colony of lager type ants and as I have several of the smaller nest with other colonies they are very easy to maintain.
Thanks again Antkit U.K.

Got it quickly not received it yet went for the large one was expecting a really big one but smaller than expected but the measurements are clearly there, not used it yet but 99% the ants will like it and settle in quickly.

Most happy with the nest, it arrived sharply, l am impressed with the store and would buy again.

Amazing nest I like that you have two places to out water in for humidity I only water one so the ants have a choice. Also have two places for the sawtooth connectors is also very good.

good build quality would have been 100 times better if the acrylic was red or black on the outside edge as ants shy away for the 4 outer chambers I will add some black tape to fix this
delivery was extremely fast I also had a issue with the way the red cover fitted tho Antkit sent me a replacement also super fast
I plan to buy more as my colony grows would 100% recommend to anyone
