What to use for Camponotus caryae?
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2021 1:32 pm
I have a fairly healthy colony of Camponotus caryae that I actually found living in an old stick last spring. Since then, I’ve kept the stick pieces in a terrarium and they’ve been thriving nicely. However, I believe they’re probably starting to outgrow the current nesting area.
I’ve thought that I could get the normal Camponotus Hybrid Nest, but considering Camponotus caryae are about half the size of Camponotus pennsylvanicus, I didn’t know if that would be too big for them.
Of course, the worst case scenario is that it would be too roomy and they just wouldn’t move in, but I also don’t want to waste my money.
Thanks a lot for your advice!
