Okidoki, ligniperda it is then.
I don't really know how to create a y-tong. I'd prefer then to get a starterset like this: Glasfarm/Arena 20x10
And then fill the farm with sand for them to dig their own tunnels. Is that possible?
creating y-tong... go to a hardware store and buy one ;) then bat walks and chambers into it... done. Somehow like this: http://www.antstore.net/shop/product_info.php/info/p1322_Betonnest-29x16.html
Your linked starter set should work, it could a bit thight for the queen...
For Camponotus ligniperda a slab distance of 10mm is minimum... the distance of your chosen set is about 12mm.
In the beginning, and i´m going to bet :), your ants will anyway stay in the tube their are delivered in.
When the colony grows up u can connect thr starter set to a bigger habitat...
Hello Fleur and welcome.
Id recommend Camp ligniperda and Substitutus, i actually have some Camp substitutus queens now that im hoping to have some workers in the next month or so that i shall be selling, your more than welcome to have one off me :D
Thanks SteveUK28! I'm going to buy them off Antstore though, I just want some form of guarantee if something goes wrong in the post.
@SimGee: Is there a starterset or something (maybe combination of items) I can buy from Antstore which would be perfect for the ligniperda? I know I won't be able to make a good Y-tong myself.
Making a y-tong is not that hard. ;)
Plenty of users sell ants here (at action) so you can always look there if Antstore don't sell the species you like.
Okay, and then I stumbled across this:

Dear God. I'm rethinking the whole idea of the antfarm right now. If my colony becomes this big in just 2/3 years, then I don't think this is for me. That are waaaaay too many ants for me to handle. I don't even want this big a colony! What can you do to prevent a colony from growing this huge? I mean: you need to stop them at some point or they'll take up you're entire house eventually! :shock:
hehe ive seen that vid sooo many times i think there is even a comment on there from me. i dont really know a humane way of stopping a colony from getting this big, perhaps you could sell the workers in batches of 100's for people who just want workers
Is there anyone on this forum with a colony this big? What's the oldest colony owned by a person on this forum?
i think it can be Erne's acromyrmex(dutch part)
