Why choose the Premium Penthouse Sand Set?

We can imagine that making a choice is difficult when seeing all the possibilities. That is why we have put together this special XL set, with which you can be absolutely sure of the most complete and successful start you can make in a sand environment.

The showpiece of this setup is the Ant Farm Penthouse. This luxurious, handmade sand nest offers all the space your large ant colony needs. Harvester ants are masters of digging; be amazed at how they independently arrange their chambers, create grain silos, and shape their tunnel systems.

The Penthouse nest was developed with maximum comfort in mind for both the ants and the keeper. A professional ventilation system is incorporated into the lid in the form of our exclusive Ant-Blox logo. In addition, the nest is equipped with a clever 10 mm opening on the top, allowing you to easily supply the sand clay with moisture without having to remove the lid. This opening is securely sealed with the included cap.

Thanks to our years of experience, this set includes a beautiful full-colour instruction booklet. This manual guides you through the startup phase with clear step-by-step instructions, so you know exactly how to best care for this large colony and optimally use the heat source.
