Formicarium Giant L – a professional nest with an XXL arena
Giant L is built for colonies that have grown beyond ordinary nests. A spacious nest section paired with an XXL arena gives a large colony real room to forage and expand, and the tall 16 mm chambers comfortably house big workers.

Why the Formicarium Giant L
A large colony needs space to forage and tall chambers for big workers – Giant L delivers both. The XXL arena turns feeding into a real spectacle, and the 16 mm chambers suit the largest medium-to-large species. It is the nest you move a thriving colony into when it has earned the room.
Who can live in it
Giant L suits established colonies of roughly 1,000–1,800 workers, including large Camponotus and Messor majors. Move a mature colony in and give it the space a big society needs.
Beginner lifehack: match the space to the colony
A large nest works best with a sizeable colony. If yours is still growing, keep it in part of the nest and open the rest as numbers climb – the colony stays cleaner and more humid that way.
How the humidity system works
Giant L uses an internal sponge humidity system. Add water through the 3 mm port with a syringe once or twice a week and it spreads passively between the acrylic layers, keeping the nest evenly moist without ever wetting the colony directly. No spraying, no guesswork.
Ventilation and mold prevention
Laser-cut micro-perforations run through the arena and nest, giving continuous passive airflow without drafts. Fresh air and controlled moisture keep condensation and mold away – just don’t over-water, and clear leftover food promptly.
Escape protection
The fitted acrylic lid and arena walls keep workers contained. For tiny or climbing species, a thin band of anti-escape fluid around the arena rim adds extra security.
Assembly
Giant L is precision laser-cut from 3 mm acrylic and arrives clean and ready. Connect a tube if joining an outworld, fill the humidity chamber, and populate – straightforward from the first minute.
Arena – sand, decorations, personalisation
Dress the large arena with sand, stones or moss to make a real foraging landscape and a striking display. Keep paths clear so feeding and cleaning stay easy.
Handy tools and feeding
Pair Giant L with drinking dishes, protein and carbohydrate jelly, soft tweezers, and a syringe for watering. Tube connections let you add an arena or link nests as the colony grows.
Care and cleaning
Smooth acrylic wipes down easily and stays clear for viewing. Spot-clean the arena, refresh the sponge water once or twice a week, and don’t force the slider doors while the colony is active.
Delivery and support
Shipped year-round with heat or cool packs and a live-arrival guarantee – DHL across the EU, InPost in Poland, EMS worldwide. Questions on set-up or species fit? The ANTonTOP team keeps ants too and is glad to help.
Expansion – when and how to grow
When Giant L fills, connect a second arena or another nest by tube and keep growing at the colony’s pace – no stressful full move.
Did you know?
Large colonies forage in organised trails, and a big arena lets you watch that logistics network in action – scouts, recruitment, and columns of workers moving food back to the nest.

Ordered to Spain and it arrived very fast and spent around 30 minutes to mount it, but it was worth it. Arena is really big and very cool. I put there my lovely camponotus nicobarensis colony and they feel very well! Thank you for perfect color as well

Great big formicarium

I ordered the Formicarium Giant two weeks ago – shipping was fast, and assembly took only about half an hour. The XXL arena is truly spacious; my Camponotus colony settled in quickly and seems very comfortable. Highly recommend for those who want both size and quality in one product
