I would put her in a test tube setup and somewhere dark. If your room is air conditioned you might want to put a heating cable near the test tube. Remember not to check on her too often because she might get stressed out. Camponotus is a really good genus because the workers are big and polymorphic, so you should have a lot of fun!! you might need a bigger formicarium later on because the colonies can get massive. Once the queen lays eggs, it should take two to six months to get workers (if you catch your quen right before winter she may hibernate, i dont think it will take long for you though). COngradulations!!
