Climate & Temperature Control – Optimal warmth for your ants and terrarium animals

Ant Docking Station

Why a docking station for every nascent colony?

This is where the ant hobby begins. The ultimate start for any colony smaller than 50 workers. The small colony in a test tube needs shelter, a quiet place. Many ant species can benefit from a nice warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an arena in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the arena is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can collect food from the arena and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all this in one go.

The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony of up to about 50 workers!

Specifications and Use

What can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?

Custom-made
The test tube L (16mm diameter and 150mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.

Shelter for your ant colony
The lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments you're not observing).

Ventilation in docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated in the lid for healthy airflow around the test tube.

Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in several ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. Explanations on how it works and what temperature increases you can achieve can be found in the included instructions.

Connection to the tunnels
From the Docking Station, the ants will manage the transport through the tunnels to arenas and new nests. The connector piece from the test tube to the tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.

A feast for the eyes
The Docking Station looks sleek and professional. It makes all other currently available products for a test tube obsolete. No more acrylic or wooden holders. No more shelter from foils, pieces of cloth, cardboard, or sleeves. No more fumbling around, but professionally ready for the future of your colony in one go!

What you get

The product consists of two parts. The dock comes with a base part where the test tube fits and a lid that closes precisely over it. A few options can be ordered immediately here at attractive promotional prices!

1. A test tube with nesting provision (moisture reservoir) if you don't have a nesting tube yet, or want to replace it (see example in the photos)
2. A connector piece to connect the test tube to the tunnel tubing.
3. Half a meter of tunnel tubing to connect to the arenas and nests.
4. A heating cable to provide your ant colony with the ultimate temperature for rapid and healthy development, so they are quickly (or more quickly) ready for a new, additional nesting environment!

Ant's Kingdom Heating Cable (1 meter heated / 5 Watt) – Targeted & safe heat

For breeding and caring for ants, stick insects, praying mantises, and other reptiles or insects, a stable temperature is essential. The **Ant's Kingdom heating cable** offers the perfect solution as a local heat source for your ant farm, vivarium, or terrarium. By attaching the cable under or to the side of the enclosure, the environment is heated gradually, controlled, and with very low energy consumption (only 5 Watts).

Flexible, pliable, and ready to use

Unlike stiff cables, this heating cable does not require preheating to become pliable. Thanks to its high-quality silicone outer casing, the cable can be easily bent straight out of the packaging and laid in any desired pattern. This allows you to apply heat exactly where your ant colony or insects need it most.

Maximum safety & Water resistant (IP67)

Safety comes first. The heating cable is double insulated and has an **IP67 rating**, meaning it is dust-tight and excellently splash-proof. The cable has a total length of 1.5 meters: the first 50 cm serves as a connection cable to the molded plug, and the last meter is the actual heating element (clearly identifiable by a marking on the cable).

Advantages of the Ant's Kingdom Heating Cable:

• Energy efficient: Uses only 5 Watts of power.
• Ready for immediate use: Includes molded plug and pliable silicone cable.
• Strong & Durable: Excellent UV-resistant, dust-tight, and water-repellent (IP67).
• Excellent to regulate: Perfectly combinable with dimmers, rod thermostats, and digital temperature controllers.

Suitable for breeding and caring for:

• Ant colonies (ant farms)
• Stick insects and leaf insects
• Praying mantises
• Other tropical insects, reptiles, and amphibians

Product specifications:

• Heated length: 1 meter (total cable length 1.5 meters)
• Power: 5 Watt
• Voltage: 230 Volt
• Safety class: IP67 (electronically safe, water-resistant)
• Color: White

Installation tip: When using underfloor heating, always place your terrarium or ant farm on small feet or spacers, so that the accumulated heat can dissipate properly from under the enclosure.

Terramat Heat Mat (100x150 mm / 2.5W) – Ideal heat source for your ant colony

A stable and pleasant temperature is one of the most important factors for the rapid and healthy development of an ant colony or insect population. The **Terramat heat mat** is the most well-known and purchased heating mat worldwide for ant farms, terrariums, insectariums, and vivariums. Thanks to its even heat distribution, the nest or substrate is heated gradually and in a very controlled manner.

Faster colony development & natural heat zones

With this compact size of 100 by 150 mm, you can precisely heat a part of the ant farm (suitable for acrylic nests, plaster nests, and sand nests). This is crucial: because the entire nest is not heated, the ants have the freedom to choose between a warmer or cooler spot. The brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae) develops significantly faster in a warm place, ensuring strong growth for your colony!

Safe, durable & ready to use immediately

The Terramat heat mat is made of a strong, durable, and UV-resistant outer wall that distributes heat evenly over the entire surface. The mat requires no preheating and works directly on mains power thanks to the molded plug. Furthermore, the mat complies with the strictest European safety standards (EN60335-1 / EN60335-2-96, Class II IPX4).

Suitable for breeding and caring for:

• Ant colonies (acrylic nests, plaster nests, sand nests, and 3D nests)
• Stick insects and leaf insects (also ideal for hatching eggs in a breeding cage)
• Praying mantises
• Other small insects, reptiles, and arthropods

Important usage tips:

• Placement with ant farms: Always heat a maximum of 30% to 50% of the nest area, so that ants can always move to a cooler zone.
• Caution with test tubes: Never place a heat mat directly under a founding tube/test tube with a water reservoir. This can lead to condensation and overheating.
• Temperature control: In most cases, the mat can be used directly. Do you want to precisely control the temperature? The mat can be perfectly combined with dimmers, rod thermostats, or digital thermostat controllers.

Product specifications:

• Mat dimensions: 100 x 150 mm (10 x 15 cm)
• Power: 2.5 Watt
• Voltage: 230 Volt
• Connection cable length: 1.40 meters (with molded plug)
• Heat distribution: Even over the entire surface
