**Help raising my Myrmecia pyriformis (Bull Ant)**

Gday there, I am soon to be the owner of a Myrmecia pyriformis (Bull Ant) Queen native to Australia from a local ant keeper here in Australia.
I want to make a all natural terrarium for them, i'm not fussed about not seeing the nest pressed up to the glass with fake tunnels, i want them to be in a natural habitat as close as i can get it.

Could you tell me what sort of dirt / soil i should use for them?
And if i should water or hydrate the soil every so often? or is that not necessary
Because it will be all natural tunnels/nest etc i wont have a access point to pour water down a tube to moisten the nest.

ANY tips and help for raising Myrmecia pyriformis would be very helpful thank you.

You might want to watch some Ants Australia videos or contact them as they have raised a lot of bull ant colonies.
