Hello there!
I live in a temperate region, and was just wondering, would a temperate species of ant be able to survive in a very humid terrarium?
It would likely be camponotus or tetramorium.
Thanks, ANTphibian.
p.s, Happy Fathers Day

Of course! What species are you wanting?

Depends. Some ants (like Myrmica sp) like it wet. Camponotus not so much and Messor definitely not.

Thanks.
I thought camponotus liked damp wood though. Do they not?

It depends on the species. Most Camponotus species like dry wood or soil, but some species do like it a bit more moist.

Just another question, are there any plants/ things I should avoid?
