I am a beginner ant keeper raising up a black crazy ant (Paratrechina Longicornis) colony, and I desperately need a habitat to keep them in when they grow to big for their test tube setup. Do you guys think that an AC ant tower small will work for them? Do these ant species dig tunnels? If not, Is it possible I can put something inside the ant tower to have them nest in? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Attempting: Odontomachus (possibly Brunneus) x1

I will tell you from experience, the small one is really, really small if you are planning to use it for a nest too. There's about half an inch of space. :shock:
