Recheck after moving or adjusting the setup. A snug fit does not make an enclosure escape-proof. The standard modular system has not been specifically validated for medically significant or powerfully stinging ants such as \u003cem\u003eMyrmecia\u003c\/em\u003e, and should not be relied upon to contain them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/compatibility\"\u003eSee how the Antastic Tom modular system fits together.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eFor important guidance on appropriate species, enclosure checks, heating and safe handling, please read our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/product-safety-and-suitability\"\u003eProduct Safety \u0026amp; Suitability\u003c\/a\u003e information before use.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety \u0026amp; containment — material and inspection guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse matching 10 mm internal \/ 13 mm external diameter tubing and check engagement at both ends before ants have access.
