To my fellow ant keepers in Texas or to anyone who may know. I have a few queens in test tube setups, Camponotus and Pogonomyrmex, I was wondering if I will have to hibernate them or not and for how long.

Yes you will have to hibernate them . Not sure how long though . I Just started ant keeping . If you want to learn more about hibernating ants watch AntsCanada's hibernation tutorials .

Sweet,
I have 3 at the moment though I only have two because a friend of mine who works at a nature center wanted a queen of that species. So I'm raising them for that purpose.
