So it was all documented in my messor b colonies journal which was deleted with the other journals I don't remember the finer details like price but it was cheap.so here's some pictures That's just some plaster.I shaped it as it dried into a more natural look once solid i placed the cacti in to their positions and then dug some holes with a spoon. i drilled a hole and add this to be a water reservoir this is the finished product you can see tubing to the left to connect to the nest I would do it slightly differently if i did it again. 1. i would make the plaster deeper to allow me shape the landscape more 2.i would use less sand for cleaning purposes also i would like to point out if you try this that it is difficult to watter the plants and i used a syringe and needle in order to successfully water them. Thanks hope someone trys this ;D PS. don't be afraid to PM me for more help

Hey fraggs em do you know what ants it will be for? You could try loads of different combonations like for carpenter ants alpine tree needles instead of sand and maybe some twigs and logs If you know i could come up with some ideas

I was planning to find pictures of ant nests in different habitats and take inspiration from them to create sort of like bio-types when I try and recreate the picture. What do you think?

I saw a nest of L.niger under a stone, and I tried to replicate that in a Y-tong nest, It was very open I realy like this set up You should put more ant in, since the messors are with thomas Exalt for the photos
