yeah you can keep many different types within it. the tunnels are nearly 1cm in widith, and around 8mm deep, so plenty of room for your average ant :). there fun to make... just loads of concrete dust, heh.

thanks for that skippy

here you can see the bowl of water, and the concrete soaks up the water, and makes some of the nest moist, and some dry, with imbetween, so ants can choose where to go.
