they moved in in about 5 mins from putting the test tube in there as the queen got scared and the ytong was dark so she ran into it and the workers followed.
oh looks great! probably gonna make smth like you did.
Looks great, pics and setup. Only one question, can't the ants climb on the tubes ? (the ones you keep the y-tong moist with)
yer but at the moment they are not connected to anything, but once it is connected i will coat the tubes with ptfe so they can not climb them.
also any ideas on warming the inside of the ytong up as at the moment it is only 23~24'c and i want it about 28~29'c, im thinking of getting a second bulb (a ceramic heater or infrared as they dont make light, except infrared,but they cant see red) and aiming it at the side of the ytong that i look through, but then would i have to get a thermostat, as things start to get expensive after that.
looks great m8, i luv the y-tong nests , so cusomisable!
and visability is maximised :D
as soon as i made my 1st couldnt help plan my second.
Planning on doing something similar but with a log next.

keep us informed
ratgreen your best bet is a heat mat up against the side of it.. connected to a thermostat and a hole made in the ytong so the probe go be stuck inside.. would keep a good temp for you then,
i dont like heatmats, i bought one for my gecko and it was about £20 and it does bugger all heat wise. also it would be ultimate hassle with a heatmat as that involves getting more power splitters and yet more wires trailing on my floor. if i get a ceramic heater bulb then i can just move the light holder pointing to the side of the ytong, is it worth getting a thermostat?
It is best if you use one. If they don't fail, you are much saver with a thermostat. ;) (and your ants to.)
