Why choose the Premium Penthouse Sand Set?

We can well imagine that making a choice is difficult given all the options. That's why we have put together this special XL set, guaranteeing you 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 to reside. Harvester ants are masters at digging; marvel at how they independently arrange their chambers, create grain silos, and shape their tunnel systems.

The Penthouse nest has been developed with maximum comfort in mind for both the ants and the keeper. The lid features professional ventilation in the form of our exclusive Ant-Blox logo. Additionally, the nest has a clever 10 mm opening at the top, allowing you to easily moisten the sand-clay without having to remove the lid. This opening is securely closed 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 a clear step-by-step plan, so you know exactly how to best care for this large colony and optimally use the heat source.
