Designed for utility and with aesthetics in mind, the standard Trapjaw Science outworld features durable, scratch-resistant cast acrylic (clearer than glass!) with a built-in containment rim, acrylic gasket, and neodymium magnets for escape prevention and ease of use. Two bottom-entry ports allow for the connection of standard 3/8” clear tubing, provide compatibility with Trapjaw’s Substratum nest system (and other popular formicaria), and allow ants to enter their foraging space as they do in nature.

A mesh stainless steel ventilation port provides effective air exchange and meets USDA containment standards, ensuring ants (or their prey) cannot escape (or infiltrate) the outworld.

This outworld is standalone. Note that if you’re buying a Substratum kit, this outworld is already included!

Note:

Currently, this product is made-to-order. Fulfillment may temporarily take 2-3 weeks to arrive.
