Key Features of HexNest Branch

  • Perfect for Most Ant Species: Designed to accommodate a wide variety of ant species, the HexNest Branch provides an ideal space for your queen and workers, creating a natural and secure environment for their growth.

  • Modular & Expandable: The true beauty of HexNest lies in its modular design. Connect it seamlessly to other HexNest modules, an Outworld, test tubes, or third-party formicariums. Your colony’s space can grow as they do.

  • Humidity Control Made Easy: Keep your colony’s environment in perfect balance with the built-in hydration system. HexNest includes three hydration chambers and a refill bottle, making it simple to maintain ideal humidity levels for your ants.

  • Compact Yet Spacious: Despite its compact size, HexNest offers plenty of room for your colony while fitting perfectly into your existing setup. It’s the ideal balance of space-efficiency and functionality.

  • Durable & Clear: The clear acrylic allows you to observe your ants in their natural habitat without disturbing them. Watch your colony grow, forage, and thrive in a habitat designed to last.


Customization Options to Suit Your Ant Colony’s Needs

HexNest Branch is designed to be as versatile as your colony. Choose from the following options to create the perfect environment for your ants:

  • Substrate/No Substrate: Select the substate option for a more natural feel for your queen and workers. The fine sand helps distribute humidity and provides a comfortable surface. Or, choose no substrate for a cleaner, minimalist look.

  • Red Cover: For species sensitive to light, the Red Cover provides a light-blocking solution. Ants cannot see red light, so the cover creates a perfect dark environment, ideal for nocturnal or light-sensitive species.

  • Vented/Non-Vented: Ant species have different airflow preferences. The vented version allows air to circulate freely with small slits in the acrylic, perfect for species that need ventilation. The unvented option is sealed, providing an ideal habitat for very small species or those that prefer no airflow.
