Can i use a lasius hybrid nest for camponotus ants?

Hey,

I am interested in buying a starter kit for an ant colony, noting this will be my first. I am thinking about buying the lasius starter kit since the hybrid nest looks more appealing to me. Will this be a problem if i put camponotus ants in the lasius hybrid nest?

Thanks

It shouldn't be, but i would recommend the formica variant of the starter kit, only because its conditions are closer to camponotus ants.
