Labyrinth

***If you are looking for a Labyrinth formicarium (or other formicarium) and need something fast  (click here) to browse Ready-To-Ship formicaria from Tar Heel Ants.  Please read below for times to complete orders from this page.

The Labyrinth is a formicarium design from Tar Heel Ants that melds two of our previously existing products into one habitat.  A 5x7 inch (125mm x 175mm) hand-molded nest using our proprietary method to sand-coated chambers magnetically attaches to a 4x8x4 inch (100mm x 200mm x 100mm) foraging area.

(For different sizes and custom designs using the Labyrinth model contact us at tarheelants@gmail.com)

Features:

• Type III material

• 5"x7" Sand-coated nest

• 4"x8"x4" Foraging Area

• Optional Color for nest panels

• Optional Decor Styles

• Stainless steel micro mesh vents

• 1/2", 3/8", or 1/4" connection between nest and foraging area

• Nest and foraging area held together by  powerful magnets

• Removable glass for easy maintenance

• Museum Glass or Standard Glass available

• Removable vent optional for facilitated feeding and cleaning

• Large Water Tower x 2 (Screen covered humidity control apparatus inside the nest chamber)

This formicarium is recommended for growing small to medium-sized colonies.  The nest block is made of a very hard material similar in functionality to concrete or plaster but much more amiable to your ants living conditions.  The nest is 100% mold resistant but (like anything) mold can grow from decaying organic material such as dead insects and other trash from feeding.  We always recommend using feeding dishes when feeding your ant colonies in all habitats!
