Craftsmanship & material - please note...

Each BioDome is carefully and precisely handcrafted in the Netherlands from laser-cut acrylic. Due to this artisanal production and bonding process, subtle stress structures, also known as crazing, may be visible in the bonded edges.

These fine line structures are a natural characteristic of high-quality acrylic that is precisely bonded and are an inherent part of the manufacturing process. They do not affect the strength, durability, or functionality of the terrarium.

As with other handmade products, this contributes to the unique character of every BioDome.

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 warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an outworld in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the outworld is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can retrieve food from the outworld and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all of this in one go.

The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony 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 150 mm 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 when you are not looking).

Ventilation in the docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated into the lid, for healthy air circulation around the test tube.

Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in multiple ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. An explanation of how it works and which 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 outworlds and new nests. The connector piece from test tube to tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.

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

What you receive

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

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

Isopod Cubaris spec. "Panda King"

Nymphs from our own breeding. The sex of the nymphs is random. If you want to breed with them, we recommend ordering a group of 10 nymphs.
 

Information

Cubaris spec. "Panda King" lives in tropical regions in Vietnam. Therefore, a humidity of 75-85% must be maintained. To maintain humidity, you can cover the substrate with leaves, moss, bark, or similar.

The organic material in the substrate serves as food, as do supplementary foods such as vegetables, fruits, and isopod food. A large layer of leaves on the substrate is very popular as a food source and hiding place. The species regularly stays on the surface in its adult state and is easily observable. Breeding this species is relatively easy and also forgives one or two breeding errors, making it a good species for beginners.

Appearance

They typically grow to just over 1 cm, but these little rockets are full of activity. The base color is brown. From the 2nd to the 4th segment, the color changes to cream white. The legs and antennae of this species are also entirely cream white. This color constellation gives the isopod the name "Panda King".

Behavior

One of the fascinating characteristics of Panda King Isopods is their remarkable ability to curl into a tight ball when faced with danger, providing them with a natural defense mechanism against predators. They possess the remarkable ability to cleanse soil and water of toxic heavy metals, making them valuable for environmental restoration projects. Panda King Isopods are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female reproductive organs and the ability to reproduce independently, without a partner.

Food

Isopods are true scavengers. Among other things, they eat dead wood, dead beech and oak leaves, fish food, cucumber, and mushrooms. Cuttlefish bone should certainly not be missing because they have a high need for calcium, which can also be offered in powdered form.

Environmental requirements

Isopods cannot climb glass, so a glass container as housing is sufficient. Use cocopeat as a substrate mixed with humus, dead leaves (beech and oak), some pieces of decomposed wood, and bark. The Porcellionides pruinosus "powder orange" does not have high environmental demands. Spray 1 part of the enclosure so that they can choose between a drier or more humid spot themselves. The temperature should be between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius.
