New Desert Terrarium for Camponotus laevigatus
I need help with making a terrarium ready for the Camponotus laevigatus I am looking to purchase. The tank is 10x20 as the base and 12 inches tall. Has 2 lights im going to replace with fluorescent bulbs so the desert cacti and other small plants I put in there will be healthy.. anything else I need to be aware of for these ants? I have a swamp cooler to cool my house, so will the humidity cause the ants to die? If so I have a patio that would work perfect but I wanted to keep them in my living room if I can. I have a few other questions as well…

I don't know anything about the habitat c. laevigatus live in so thats all your knowledge. But from your plan im guessing they live in a dry desert like places, in which case yes the swamp cooler will cause a major problem and could kill your ants
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

I think laevigatus nests in wood, also they're nocturnal but that dosen't mean that much in camtivity.Ljgusky wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:59 pmI need help with making a terrarium ready for the Camponotus laevigatus I am looking to purchase.
