Re: I recieved a wired colony of Camponotus turkestanus

I recently bought a 1 queen + 4 workers Camponoyus turkestanus colony online, but the colony I recieved include a Major in it. As I know, a small colony like this should not be able to raise a major. And also, workers are clearly bigger than they should be as the first worker generation of a queen....

How is the humidity inside? She could be drying out.
I face the same thing sometimes too. You’re right, she could be drying out, and certain species also need certain humidity levels too.

Re: 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.
