Hello! I have recently opened an online store showcasing formicariums, outworlds, apparel, and accessories!

 

At the time of writing, I am still in the process of building and testing formicariums with my own colonies to ensure they are sustainable for the long-term. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be selling queen ants but that may change in the future. 

 

If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see made, feel free to comment below! I will be updating this over time with new products and updates, however, you can join my email/text sms list for faster notifications, discounts, and sales.

 

My Online Store: www.enderants.com

 

 

Outworlds:

All outworlds take 1-2 weeks to make and ship out. Made with either a hydrostone, plaster, or mix material with non-toxic decorations fitted with a screen mesh lid, and vinyl tube opening. Additionally, custom made outworlds with decor of your choosing is available. I have a few colonies using these as tubs and tubes setups and they are all doing great! One of these is my Tetramorium immigrans that I will be moving into a formicarium soon.

 

 

Arid Desert: Nothing beats the warm, earthy hues of a sun-baked terrain like the "Arid Desert". With a palette consisting of beige, brown, and rust-colored tones from the rocks and sand, this rugged atmosphere captures the raw elements found in real desert landscapes. Sometimes you'll find scattered plants, while other times a barren expanse.

Dunefield (Personal favorite of mine)Based off of the white sands in the Chihuahuan Desert, "Dunefield" is a collection of ant outworlds featuring a palette of white, grey, and beige. It is made with the intent of evoking a calm, and minimalistic elegance, while mirroring untouched deserts of real life.

Heathlands: The "Heathlands" are characterized by sandy soils, blossoming flowers, and vibrant shrubs. These biomes are typically found in the United Kingdom, parts of Europe, and Australia. Despite frequent fires that clears old vegetation to promote new growth, they are home to an array of wildlife.

Montane Forest: "Montane Forests" is characterized by the real-life montane forest biome. It features vermiculite substrate, dense tree foliage, rugged stones, and an earth tone palette of brown and dark green. Experience the quiet grandeur of a mountainous retreat.

Ochre Basin: "Ochre Basin" draws inspiration from the arid basin landscapes, characterized by their striking brown and reddish sands. It features scattered, subtle accents of vegetation, while adding a rugged terrain that mimics the sun-baked earth of the region.

Taiga: With tall pine trees dominating the landscape, dark green needles sprout up from the ground to contrast the pure white substrate. Depending on the severity of the heavy snowfall, withered shrubs or cracks in the ground will be present. With a harsh environment, the "Taiga" outworld echoes remote regions where only the hardiest of ants can survive.

Hello Ender Ants;

In order for ants to distinguish between nest and outworld, ventilation in the outworld is important. This reduces the possibility of ants nesting in the outworld. What do you think?

My father always said I had ants in my pants.
