| - | | | The nest is the central living space of the ant colony. This is where the queen lives and where the ants care for their brood, including eggs, larvae and pupae.\\ \\ This nest version features an integrated water tank for easier and more reliable humidification. A water-filled test tube is placed in the rear reservoir area and slowly supplies moisture to the cotton wool inside the nest. The cotton then distributes the humidity gently into the adjacent nest chambers, creating a suitable nesting climate without directly spraying or opening the nest.\\ \\ A dedicated slot between the main chamber and the water reservoir allows you to insert a piece of mesh, preventing the ants from accessing, digging into or pulling apart the cotton wool. This keeps the water reservoir safely separated from the colony while still allowing moisture to pass through.\\ \\ The test tube can be removed, refilled or replaced whenever necessary, making maintenance simple and causing minimal disturbance to the colony. The tank cover is also parameterized on MakerWorld, allowing you to adjust it to the diameter and dimensions of your own test tubes before printing. | + | | {{ : |
