Can anyone recommend a heating cable? I ordered what was listed as an 11.5 inch cable for my one Camponotus colony and it showed up and it’s 11.5 feet! Do they not make shorter ones?

About a week ago, I checked on my Camponotus queen and she had 2 pupae and I was waiting for them to eclose. I checked on them today and now there’s only 1 pupae and no nanitic… did she eat it!? There’s no way it escaped.

Thank you!!

This is my second queen, my first one died unexpectedly but I cannot figure out what species this new one is. I’m in Georgia state, USA for regional context. I caught her on June 15 and as of yesterday she has 15 small eggs. I estimate she is roughly 15mm in length. Maybe camponotus? https://imgur.c...

My apologies! I tried to add one and it looks like it didn’t go. I used Imgur this time

I just happened to see this girl scurry across my patio and caught her in a cup! Is she a queen or a super major? I’ve never caught a queen before so I’ve never seen one up close. If she is a queen, any idea the species?
