My Pheidole

My young Pheidole colony with 3 workers and 10 brood has been moved into a tubes and tubs setup. I have a heat mat underneath the tub where the test tube is. Do I need to put substrate in the outworld? Any advice on the colony?
Ants are better than termites lol

Maybe a little bit of sand, just make sure it does not get wet or they might nest in it.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
