Hiya guys
I finally finished with my ytong and as i said i got some pics of it.
The first pic is the ytong the second one shows a description of what i hope the ants will use the chambers as.
Anyway here they are:

lol ash.. good luck at making them go to those chambers.. im sure they wont do as you wish
Just wonderin the main entrance you have there.. How are you sealing it?? and where is it going to go??
Also have u looked at the How to ytong guide??
btw.. it does look good, have u created a leg aswell.. any chance of pics of that

[JimmyVe]

Looks nice, as steve said, i don't think they going to use those chambers like you wish.




Let us know who you are,
here.
Thanks !

Ah its ok if they dont but would be cool if they would, Thing is tho that the alleged queen chamber is 2.9 or 3 cm deep the rest are like 1.9 to 2.3 cm deep.
Is that enough?

@steve I didnt exactly make a ytong leg but instead ingraved a box like shape were a plastic container fits and is fill with water. Il show a pic of it later or tomorrow.

@Jimmy How you like the main tunnel jimmy? I know you always have something like this in ur ytongs and recommend it. I took your advise of a main tunnel in this ytong. Hope its alright

[SteveUK28]

lol thats pretty deep... but i dont think that will matter much.. as long as she can turn around she will be fine and will lay eggs all day.. Just wondering but what ants are you puttin in here??

[jimjam]

Well ashhad you done better than me!! My ytong was going well until 'someone' Knocked it off my work bunch! It is now in two pieces!

[ashhad1]

@steve Im putting my C.Ligniperda in my new ytong, thats why i made it that deep.

@Jimjam lol sorry to hear that, When i was done with my ytong my cat nearly moved off the table (pretty strong cat lol) after that im keeping it safe like a mother bear and its cub...

[Antlord]

I hope it's ok for me to post a pic of my ytong It's my first so I want to know what you guys think!

[darradar]

my my that is impressive indeed, im sure yuor ants will be very happy in there....

[ashhad1]

That is impressive Antlord, you did better on your first ytong then I did one mine lol
Here is a picture of the engraved ytong leg for my ytong...
for you steve since you really wanted to see it lol

[Antlord]

Thanks , you think it's ok for Camponotus ligniperda?
The chambers are 1.4 cm deep. Is that deep enough or should I make deeper?

[ashhad1]

Ah so your also putting c.ligniperda in your ytong, well im not to sure if that deep enough but you see i dont know if i did mine too deep as my deepest chamber is nearly 3cm the rest are nearly 2 or bit more.

[SteveUK28]

yes i think that will be fine antlord.. and wicked ytong work m8..
ashhad.. that leg looks fine.. However.. id be slightly worried that its not gonna get the nest even remotely enough damp.. In fact i dont even think its gonna get the nest damp at all.. prob just a small bit of that corner.. However i could be wrong.. i advise u to fill it with water and give it a go...

@Jimmy How you like the main tunnel jimmy? I know you always have something like this in ur ytongs and recommend it. I took your advise of a main tunnel in this ytong. Hope its alright

Well i like it very much. Yes a main tunnel is always nice for the ants. Easier for them to move from the one room to another, with brood and food ands stuff.

@ Antlord: very nice farm. You did a great job with this one. The only thing i miss is the main tunnel. But it is not necessary to have one. Just easier for the ants.
