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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony up to about 50 workers!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe test tube L (16mm diameter and 150 mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelter for your ant colony\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments when you are not looking).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVentilation in the docking station\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVentilation openings are incorporated into the lid, for healthy air circulation around the test tube.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeating for rapid and healthy development\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOpenings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in multiple ways without the risk of condensation.
