Accessories Kit:
🚀 THE PERFECT BRIDGE NEST – SMALL CARPENTER ANT BROOD HABITAT
Don't rush your colony into a massive setup too early. This professional-grade 2"x4" Small Brood Nest is specifically engineered for young, growing colonies (~75 workers) that have outgrown their test tube and need dedicated space for larvae and pupae.

✨ GEN 2 ADVANCED ENGINEERING:
• Specialized Brood Chambers: Internal geometry is optimized for "brood piling," allowing workers to organize larvae and pupae efficiently in a high-visibility environment.
• Rot-Proof PETG Construction: Unlike standard PLA, our high-grade PETG resists warping and mold, ensuring a long-lasting, sanitary habitat for your queen.
• Sidewall Humidification: Features a built-in reservoir for High-Absorbency Hydration Media (included). The side-mounted design prevents debris from clogging the hydration source.
• Easy-Open Maintenance: Our signature "Coin-Op" window ring system allows you to pop the nest open for cleaning in seconds using just a coin.
• Aesthetic "Thorax" Cover: Redesigned for Gen 2, the protective cover is inspired by ant anatomy, blending professional lab standards with a sleek look.
