I'm wanting to get a camponotus herculeanus queen (from GAN) and I have a camponotus hybrid nest and was wondering in the tubing that fits it is to small for the queen? I will have to drive 5 total hrs to get the queen and want to be sure that my setup will work b4 I do. I have that formicarium and the tubing that fits it.. if you look at my other post there is a pic of my setup I'm on mobile right now so I cant post picture on this post
Thanks
Edit this is the like to my setup picture

Re: Help with tube size
It is best not to introduce a single queen or small colony into a nest, as they may be overwhelmed by all the unnecessary space. Keep them in a test tube setup until they have at least twenty workers.Natebillsyou wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 6:27 amI'm wanting to get a camponotus herculeanus queen (from GAN) and I have a camponotus hybrid nest and was wondering in the tubing that fits it is to small for the queen?

Re: Help with tube size
Yes I plan to do that just wanted to make sure the tubes to and from the nest were the right size for when they are ready to move
