That is true. In deed they are able to bite through a lot of materials, also y-tong. If you keep them in a y-tong nest make sure they can not dig them self trow it and can escape.

you maybe try if you like. We are just warning you for them.
But they still are very nice ants to keep, good luck with them.

Did the escaped ants settle down in your friends house? Thats when it gets expensive, Exterminator bills usually go with 4 numbers. If you where a beginner, i would have even advised you not to buy them. Cant be persuaded to go for a different species? After all, the ants are realy realy tiny, and if its the morphological difference you're looking for, theres still other ants that have that:)

Een paar nieuwe foto's.
De werksters plaatsen hier de naakte cocons en larven in de straal van de warmtelamp.

Some new pictures.
On this pictures you can see how the workers place the naked pupa and larva underneath the heating lamp.

Leuk dat ze echt zo tussen het gras zitten.

Ja Dit is mijn enigste zand nest. (was ook m'n eerst echte farm) heb altijd gedacht om deze te laten verhuizen naar een y-tong maar kmoet zeggen zo een natuur nest heeft ook wel zijn charme.

I hope so too O.O

They are in deed very nice, you are going to keep them in a island setup ? don't make it to small, these colonies get very big (the ants them self are small) and they grow fast.
