United States alternative to AAC/Ytong?
I'm in the southeast of the United States and am looking to make some homemade formicariums for my camponotus and pharaoh ants. I would love to be able to make them out of Ytong/AAC but I can't find anywhere where I can purchase some. Does anyone know where to get some/ a good alternative for it? Thanks!

I think a lot of people use this block called "Firebrick". Although, I don't know where you'd get it.

You can get some at Menards, Lowe, and The Home Depot.

Under the name of Firebrick I might add.

And Firebrick is the same kind of substance where it is soft enough to easily be carved with a screwdriver, etc?

Yes it can be carved with a screw driver.

Cool. I might try it.
