camponotus subbarbatus preferred setup

Hello so I have a small colony of 50 or so workers, some, eggs and a queen making home in a tube. I was going to make my own outworld but was wondering what i should use for the ground parts? Example is would sand with some soil be suitable? Do they prefer medium humidity?

Most Camponotus prefer low humidity, and some even dwell in soil and sand. I recommend plaster, pebbles, dry sand, dry soil, or related substances for outworlds.
