A pack of five replacement TPU retention clips for compatible Antastic Tom nests and modular equipment.

The flexible clips help retain compatible modular connectors in their ports while allowing them to be removed when the setup needs to be reconfigured.

They are designed for repeated use, but as a flexible component they may gradually wear, stretch or become damaged over time. Replacement is unlikely to be needed frequently, but keeping a few spares available means a worn or lost clip can be replaced immediately.

Containment & species suitability: These clips help keep compatible modular connectors in place; they do not guarantee that a nest or outworld is escape-proof. Check each clip and the complete connection for wear, movement or gaps before introducing ants and regularly during use. Replace damaged or stretched clips. The standard modular system has not been specifically validated for medically significant or powerfully stinging ants such as Myrmecia and should not be relied upon to contain them.

Best suited for:

  • Replacing lost retention clips
  • Replacing worn or damaged clips
  • Keeping spare clips available
  • Compatible Antastic Tom nests and accessories

For important guidance on appropriate species, enclosure checks, heating and safe handling, please read our Product Safety & Suitability information before use.

Designed to retain compatible Antastic Tom modular connectors. Fit depends on the existing connector and retention slot; check before purchase or installation.

Who it’s for

For keepers replacing worn, stretched, damaged or lost retention clips on compatible modular fittings.

Setup and use

  • Secure the colony before working on an occupied connector.
  • Check the fitting and clip for damage, then seat the new clip in the intended retention slot.
  • Confirm the connector cannot pull loose and inspect the join for escape gaps before returning the ants' access.

Care and maintenance

Routine checks

  • Inspect retention clips regularly for splits, tears, stretching, permanent deformation or damage.
  • Check that each clip still holds the compatible connector securely in position.
  • Replace a clip immediately if it no longer retains the connector correctly or shows visible damage.

Cleaning

  • Remove the clip from the setup before cleaning where practical.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and allow it to dry fully before refitting.

Avoid boiling water, dishwashers, solvents, bleach and strong cleaners, and keep TPU clips away from excessive heat. Contains small components; keep loose clips away from young children and pets.
