Full description
Terra M V2 Dry Ant Nest: modular ant nest
The Terra M V2 Dry Ant Nest is a modular ant nest designed to house ant colonies that prefer or require dry conditions with no humidity built into the nest. Its compact format gives the colony a controlled, stable and easy-to-observe space, without taking up more room than necessary.
Its design makes it easy to observe the ants and maintain the colony, keeping the nest organized and protected. As part of the Terra modular system, it can be expanded by connecting it to other compatible modules and foraging areas as the colony grows.
The Dry version is specially designed for species and colonies that don't need a hydration system in the ant nest. This allows humidity to be managed independently based on each species' needs and lets you maintain different zones with different humidity levels when needed.

Before buying
Before choosing the Terra M V2 Dry Ant Nest, check that the species you keep is suitable for a nest with no built-in humidity system. It's also important to consider the colony's current size and the connections you'll use for future expansions.
Terra M V2 Dry Ant Nest: a compact, modular ant nest with no built-in humidity, designed to house colonies that need dry conditions and to expand the space progressively.
How many ants fit?
Selected species size
400 to 575 workers
These are approximate ranges: actual capacity also depends on humidity, available foraging space, the chamber/gallery type chosen, and each keeper's management.
Before you buy
Is it escape-proof?
Yes, all Terra modules feature precision-locking gates and airtight connections designed to prevent escapes.
Does it need maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal: periodically check the reservoir level, if your model has humidity, and clean the foraging area if you have one connected.
Is it compatible with other Terra modules?
Yes, all modules in the Terra system (Starter, M, L, XL) use the same modular connection system, so you can expand it whenever you need.
How does the humidity system work?
It depends on the model. Terra V2 models with humidity (Starter, M, L and XL) have a water tower over antifungal plaster, which spreads humidity gradually without flooding the nest; the L and XL have a double system. Evaporation models use a small reservoir that releases humidity by evaporation, and Dry models have no built-in humidity: each model's description says which one it has.
What happens if my colony grows more than expected?
You can expand by connecting additional modules or moving up to a larger size in the Terra range; capacity figures are approximate.
Does it connect to my current modules?
The entire Terra range shares the same connection system, so any AntMaster anthill, foraging area, or connector fits together. The exact tube size is listed in the technical specs of each piece, further up this same page. If you're coming from another brand, check that measurement before ordering.
How is the nest hydrated?
The hydration system for each model is listed in the technical specs. On Terra V2 models with a water tower, it is refilled from the outside, without opening the nest or disturbing the colony. The humidity gradient spreads through the galleries so the ants can choose the area they prefer. Dry models have no built-in humidity.
Can I expand it as the colony grows?
Yes. That's the whole point of everything being modular: new modules are added with a tube, with no stressful moves or changing anthills. Starting with a Starter or a Starter Kit and expanding later is the usual path.
Do you make special sizes?
We manufacture everything ourselves, by hand, so yes: if you need a size, color, or configuration that isn't in the store, message us and we'll take a look. Tell us the species and colony size and we'll suggest a solution.
Terra range
Nature, modularity, and well-being for your colony.
The Terra range was born from observing nature. Each module is designed to give your colony an environment as close as possible to its natural habitat, with craftsman-quality materials and an expansion system built to keep pace with your colony's growth.
Natural, handcrafted design
Each Terra module is made with selected materials that mimic the textures and conditions of ants' natural environment.
- Natural materials
- Handcrafted finish
- No sharp edges
Terra modular system
Connect modules intuitively. The Terra system grows with you: start small and expand whenever your colony needs it.
- Simple connection
- Compatible across models
- Fully escape-proof
Clear observation and user experience
High-transparency acrylic and optimized viewing angles so you never miss a detail of your colony's life.
- Fingerprint-resistant
- Optimal visibility
- Perfect for photos and videos
Built to last, designed to grow
Modular and expandable
Add modules as your colony grows.
Quality materials
Premium acrylic, safe materials, and durable finishes.
Comfortable observation
High-transparency acrylic and optimized angles.
Humidity to suit you
With a water tower, by evaporation or dry: choose to suit the species.
Secure gates
Escape-proof design with precision locking.
Natural aesthetics
Organic shapes that blend the anthill into any space.
Every detail, a decision
Terra S
Ideal for starting colonies
Terra M
The perfect balance
Terra XL
For growing colonies
Terra isn't just an anthill. It's an ecosystem.
Every element of the Terra range has been designed to offer the most complete experience: from observation to humidity control, along with the safety of the gates and the elegance of the design.
