Craftsmanship & material – please note...

Each BioDome is carefully and precisely handcrafted in the Netherlands from laser-cut acrylic. Due to this artisanal production and bonding process, subtle stress structures, also known as crazing, may be visible in the bonded edges.

These fine line structures are a natural characteristic of high-quality acrylic that is precisely bonded and are an inherent part of the manufacturing process. They do not affect the strength, durability, or functionality of the terrarium.

As with other handmade products, this contributes to the unique character of each BioDome.

Ant Docking Station

Why a docking station for every nascent colony?

This is where the ant hobby begins. 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 nice warm temperature, and you want to be able to connect your test tube to an arena in a good and aesthetically pleasing way. Making a connection between the test tube and the arena is always the first step in the hobby. After this is done, the colony can collect food from the arena and dispose of their waste. There is only 1 product available worldwide that allows you to arrange all this in one go.

The Docking Station is a must for every nascent ant colony of up to about 50 workers!

Specifications and Use

What can you and your ants do with this product and how do you use it?

Custom-made
The test tube L (16mm diameter and 150mm long) fits precisely into the Docking Station.

Shelter for your ant colony
The lid closes precisely over the test tube for good shelter for your colony (for the moments you're not observing).

Ventilation in docking station
Ventilation openings are incorporated in the lid for healthy airflow around the test tube.

Heating for rapid and healthy development
Openings are made at the bottom where a heating cable can be placed in several ways without the risk of condensation. Various temperature increases can be achieved by placing a cable partially or completely. Explanations on how it works and what temperature increases you can achieve can be found in the included instructions.

Connection to the tunnels
From the Docking Station, the ants will manage the transport through the tunnels to arenas and new nests. The connector piece from the test tube to the tunnels fits precisely onto this Docking Station.

A feast for the eyes
The Docking Station looks sleek and professional. It makes all other currently available products for a test tube obsolete. No more acrylic or wooden holders. No more shelter from foils, pieces of cloth, cardboard, or sleeves. No more fumbling around, but professionally ready for the future of your colony in one go!

What you get

The product consists of two parts. The dock comes with a base part where the test tube fits and a lid that closes precisely over it. A few options can be ordered immediately here at attractive promotional prices!

1. A test tube with nesting provision (moisture reservoir) if you don't have a nesting tube yet, or want to replace it (see example in the photos)
2. A connector piece to connect the test tube to the tunnel tubing.
3. Half a meter of tunnel tubing to connect to the arenas and nests.
4. A heating cable to provide your ant colony with the ultimate temperature for rapid and healthy development, so they are quickly (or more quickly) ready for a new, additional nesting environment!

Cubaris spec. 'Panda King' – The adorable tropical panda among isopods!

Do you dream of keeping the popular tropical genus Cubaris, but are you looking for a species that is not too complicated to care for? The Cubaris spec. 'Panda King' originates from the humid, tropical regions of Vietnam and is considered the absolute number 1 beginner species within this family in the isopod hobby!

Unique Panda Appearance & Fascinating Behavior

As the name suggests, these creatures, with their high-contrast color scheme, closely resemble small giant pandas. The dark shield is interrupted midway by a broad, creamy-white band. The antennae and legs are also completely bright white! When fully grown, they reach over 1 cm in size and surprisingly often show themselves on the substrate. Extra special: when they feel threatened, they roll up into a perfectly tight ball to protect their vulnerable belly.

Easy Breeding & Forgiving

While many other Cubaris species pose a challenge to reproduce, the 'Panda King' is a fast breeder that also readily forgives a small care mistake. Adult animals can regularly be admired on the surface, provided there are sufficient hiding places. To start a successful breeding colony, we recommend starting with a breeding group of at least 10 individuals.

Environmental Requirements & Care

Thanks to their tropical origin, 'Panda Kings' prefer relatively high humidity (75-85%) and a nicely moist substrate:

• Housing & Substrate: Use a rich substrate of humus/cocopeat mixed with decayed wood and plenty of withered beech and oak leaves. A thick layer of leaves and pieces of bark serves as both a hiding place and daily food.
• Climate & Moisture: Keep the temperature between 21 °C and 25 °C. Cover a large part of the substrate with (sphagnum) moss to retain moisture well, but leave one corner slightly drier.
• Nutrition & Calcium: Besides leaf litter and decayed breeding wood, they enjoy vegetables (such as cucumber or mushrooms), fish food, and special isopod food. A constant source of calcium (cuttlebone) is essential for the development of their sturdy shield.

Key Advantages at a Glance:

• Iconic Appearance: Beautiful black and white contrast with white legs and antennae.
• Best Beginner Cubaris: Easy to keep, very forgiving, and fast breeding.
• Flexible Ordering: Available individually with quantity discounts for larger numbers!
• Unique Defense: Can roll up completely into a ball when in danger.
• Own Breeding Guarantee: Healthy nymphs from our own breeding with live arrival guarantee.

Armadillidium vulgare 'Magic Potion' – An enchanting eye-catcher for your terrarium!

Are you looking for one of the most sought-after and fairytale-like isopods in the hobby? The Armadillidium vulgare 'Magic Potion' more than lives up to its magical name. This cultivated color variant of the well-known pill bug has a milky transparent-white carapace, adorned with a unique pattern of bright yellow and black speckles. A breathtaking sight that immediately stands out on the dark forest floor of your terrarium!

### Classic Pill Bug & Fascinating Behavior

As a true representative of the genus Armadillidium, the 'Magic Potion' possesses the classic defense mechanism: at the slightest sign of danger, the animal quickly rolls itself into a tight, perfectly closed ball. They grow to an average size of 1.2 to 1.5 cm, are happy to show themselves, and can reach a good age of 2 to 3 years under optimal conditions.

### Indispensable Cleaning Crew for your Terrarium

In addition to their beautiful appearance, these pill bugs play a crucial role in a healthy, bioactive ecosystem. They are excellent scavengers that efficiently process fungi, fallen leaves, decaying wood, and organic waste. They are social, tolerant, and thrive in groups.

Care & Environmental Requirements

Caring for the Magic Potion Isopod is easy and accessible, making them a fantastic choice even for beginners:

• Housing & Substrate: Isopods cannot climb smooth glass, so a glass tank or plastic breeding box is perfect. Use a rich substrate of humus mixed with cocopeat, a thick layer of oak and beech leaves, rotten wood, and pieces of bark.
• Humidity & Temperature: Keep the temperature between 21 °C and 25 °C. Regularly mist one side of the enclosure (for example, use some sphagnum moss) to create a nice humidity gradient.
• Food & Calcium: In addition to leaf litter, they enjoy vegetables (such as cucumber or mushrooms), fish food, and special isopod food. Always offer cuttlebone or cuttlebone powder; because they build a sturdy, spherical shell, they have a high need for calcium!

Key benefits at a glance:

• Unique 'Magic' Pattern: Translucent white carapace with bright yellow and black speckles.
• Can Roll into True Balls: Rolls completely into a protective ball when in danger.
• Easy Care: Robust and forgiving species, ideal for beginners.
• Order Per Piece: Flexibly adjust your quantity with bulk discounts for larger groups.
