Clay all in one?
I watched the Ants Aus All in one video and I'm thinking if it's possible to make it using dried clay or something else istead of modular concrete.

Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Re: Clay all in one?
Dry clay is not possible as it is not the same as Hebel/Aerocrete/AAC/YTONG. But Dental Plaster works fine, just watch this video. https://youtu.be/U0Vcs4bqYhAAntlover41157 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 10:19 pmI watched the Ants Aus All in one video and I'm thinking if it's possible to make it using dried clay or something else istead of modular concrete.
I’m just a normal ant keeper living in a tropical area.

Like antperson24 said, Plaster of Paris works great, along with Ultracal 30antperson24 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:06 amI use plaster of Paris.antsofTH wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 2:33 amDry clay is not possible as it is not the same as Hebel/Aerocrete/AAC/YTONG.

Re: Clay all in one?
Can I just use clay to shape a whole nest and use plastic or glass on top? I cannot find AAC or plaster at Ipoh, Malaysia.
I have found more queens!
-Polyrhachis laevissima (left only queen)
-Pheidole parva (TOO MUCH)
-Iridomyrmex Anceps
-Polyrhachis dives
Hope to catch camponotus soon...
