Nest Moving

I plan on getting a camponotus maritimus queen. I was wondering, at what size should I move them to a new area?

And, where should I move them? To a tower, or?

15 workers in Camponotus is when I move mine into a bigger tube or nest. You can move them to a new nest as small as six nantics… I prefer nest for Camponotus as I don’t usually use AC nest. Outworlds can be given at 6 workers also…

Oh, okay. Thank you.
Where do you usually buy supplies for ants?

I bought a few AusAnt nests, but it took 6 months to arrive. Tar Heel ants is good if you don’t make it too special and if you get the already made formicarium it doesn’t take very long to arrive
