Ant nest for Solenopsis Fugax

Yesterday I ordered a solenopsis fugax queen. I have heard that they are very tiny and are good at escaping but I don't know what nest I can buy that they won't escape from. Does anyone know a nest the solenopsis fugax will not be able to escape from?

[Urgency] Shipping ants from England to Spain

I want to ship some ants (a small 5 workers myrmica rubra colony) to Spain.
Will they be held back in customs, I have checked the list for species not allowed and this one is allowed.

Ant Queen Identification (Yes, again)

(I send this again as I have gotten varying answers that none can fully confirm what species she is) If you have any questions, like how is the shape of her head, then ask me.
