Ant Outworld and Arena - Extra Large
- Stock: Made to Order
- Model: Extra Large Outworld and Arena
- SKU: HTA-XLOW
*** Images to follow. The images here, are of our very popular Large Outworld. The XL has the same design, just larger, with two sets of side supports. Unfortunately, our 90cm light tent we use for product photography can't fit this XL outworld in with enough room for decent images. We are looking into alternatives.***
This outworld, at the moment, is made to order, hence the 'out of stock' status. To order this, please contact us .
Please note that this is the latest version which has been sold since
November 2021. Compared to the original, this version has additional
support under the base and sides, it is also glued as standard. The glue
actually melts the Perspex together forming a very strong bond.
This is the perfect area to give food and water to your colony. Our Extra Large Outworld is the larger version of our hugely popular Medium Outworld. This Extra Large Outworld measures 600mm x 380mm x 150mm without the legs or connector.
You can connect this outworld directly to your ant nest, or you can connect it to our 4 Way Connector to allow for further expansion at a later date. This outworld also has four entrances to allow for further expansion of your colony when needed. The additional entrances and exits will also allow for a 'flow' of traffic.
The outworld is made of strong 3mm clear acrylic for the sides, top and lid, and 3mm white acrylic for the base. If you are going for a minimalistic outworld, this white base allows for a great view of your colony.
If you want to add a bed of sand or soil, or anything else, you can do so up to a depth of 3mm without it falling into the entrance of the outworld. There is a raised base around the entrances to allow for this. Obviously, this won't stop your colony from taking the material into the nest if they wish.
The outworld has dual lids which feature air vents to allow for air
circulation, and also a handle for easy removal. The lids sit snugly on
the screws holding the 'top' of the outworld on, and this 'top' piece
provides an excellent place to put your escape fluid on. We recommend
using something like PTFE fluid on the underside of the 'top' piece. Because this is 'made to order', if you need a larger rim for the
escape fluid, let us know. The current rim is 20mm, but this can be
increased to whatever you need, 30mm, 40mm etc.
If you are going to be adding any sort of moisture to the outworld, or raising its humidity, corner and side lid clips are provided as standard.
If the moisture level inside the outworld is greater than the air around it, the acrylic lid will start absorbing this moisture and start expanding on the inside slightly. This can cause the corners of the outworld lid to lift slightly. This isn't a design defect, this is just what acrylic does.
To combat this, we have designed these corner clips to keep the corners of your outworld lids flat.
The outworld is supplied constructed with 2x PVC tube connectors to connect to your other modules and two module blanking plates to block the other entrances until needed.
Perspex
All acrylic used in this outworld is Perspex®.
