They mostly live in the ground but you can find them in acorn sometimes. But you have to be lucky. Really lucky. A friend of mine found them once like this. He still keeps them.

Hello sithmaster

I have seen a few pictures of Temnothorax nylanderi living in a y-tong nest, so you could keep them in that

heres a link

thanks sced
there are some good pics i think that ytong would be good for this species as they dont need a lot of space as they wont get no bigger than about 200 ants :)

I'm not really sure how many was in there... but as long as you have a queen and a few workers it doesn't really matter. The number of workers will go up fast.

It is indeed easy'er to keep them in an Y-tong nest.

sithmaster676: (11. Nov 2006 12:12)

yes ytong nests are good for colonies that dont get very big such as this colony
Sithmaster676 :grin:

Plaster nest would be good as well.
