The Founding Ytong Nest – Type B is a compact formicarium designed specifically for early-stage ant colonies. As part of the first series of Esthetic Ants Ytong nests, it offers excellent moisture regulation and a natural nesting environment for founding colonies.
Founding Ytong Nest - Type B
This nest features a cubed chamber design, providing structured nesting spaces that allow ants to cluster brood and organize efficiently. The Ytong block creates a stable and humid microclimate, ideal for species that benefit from consistent moisture levels.
Moisture is added through the side-mounted chimney, allowing controlled hydration without disturbing the colony. An escape-proof mesh is embedded into the frame, while a clear acrylic cover secured with screws provides visibility and protection. For best results, we do not recommend removing all screws during use. A red shield is included to reduce light exposure and support natural ant behavior.
This nest is designed to be used only in a horizontal, flat position.
If heating is required, we recommend placing the heating medium on top of the Ytong block to prevent condensation inside the nest.
Compatible with 10 mm and 15 mm tubing
