dryness and heat makes it so hard to find queen ants

I Live in Canada, lots of ants. I still have a hard time finding queens. I wish you the best of luck in your search.
Have you considered buying a queen?

The thing is you would need an ant that is accustomed to the dry heat in your area, unless you can add an automatic hydration system to your tank and even then regulating the humidity levels might be difficult.
So I guess local ants are your best option. Keeping an eye on colonies in the surrounding area and visiting them at the crack of dawn, when temperatures are still bearable is all i can think off
