Quad-Core Modular Nest + Quad-Core Modular Outworld – The Flagship Series X Combination
The ultimate Series X pairing: the Quad-Core Modular Nest and the Quad-Core Modular Outworld. Engineered for serious keepers, this flagship combination provides maximum visibility, expansion potential and modular performance—all centred around the rare and highly-engineered four-connection-point design that defines the Series X line.
Together, they offer a complete habitat system suitable for growing colonies of all sizes—from small, fast-expanding species to large, established colonies that need room to roam.
Quad-Core Modular Nest – The Flagship Nest of Series X
The Quad-Core Modular Nest is the crown jewel of the Series X nest range: visually stunning, brilliantly engineered and designed for limitless expansion. Featuring four fully functional modular connection points, this nest unlocks layout possibilities that most modular systems cannot achieve.
Perfect for:
Expanding established colonies
Keepers who already own Series X components
Anyone who wants a premium, future-proof nest with serious modular capability

Why Series X Stands Out:
• Door Slide Technology™ – Total Control
Open or close nest sections instantly with our built-in sliding doors. Expand safely—no escapes, no stress.
• Bigger Chambers, Better Value
10–20% larger than similar nests. More space for your colony, more value for you.
• PETG Construction – Strong, Safe, Heat-Ready
Forget PLA. PETG handles heat, resists warping, and survives 60°C cleaning with ease. Built for years of use.
• Premium Hardware That Lasts
A2 stainless steel screws—rust-proof, durable, and far superior to the zinc screws most brands use.
• Nests arrive Assembled
Just attach your connectors (two screws each) and you’re ready to go. No fiddly builds. No stress.
• Smarter Outworlds
Vertical design, minimal assembly, magnetic first-lip lid. Cleaning is effortless—no awkward screw-off tops.
• True Modularity
Four connection points on both nests and outworlds. Build any layout you want. Add tubing or test tubes with our connector options.
• Your Choice of Viewing
Red acrylic lid or printed 3D lid—pick what fits your species and your style or get both.
Built to Last. Built for Keepers. Built for the Future.
Series X is engineered to last decades—not seasons. Less waste, more durability, and unmatched value.
If you want reliability, innovation, and pro-level quality without the premium price tag—Series X is the future of your ant keeping journey.
