I've worked with Campanotus for almost 4 years now. They generally prefer dryer nests, so when providing a moisture gradient make sure there is plenty of space away from the water source. Since Camponotus do chew wood, make sure the materials used are not overly soft.

I would also suggest a nest on the smaller size. Camponotus do grow into large colonies, but it takes years to do so. Since most ant-keepers are new to the hobby, a majority of camponotus colonies are going to be on the smaller side.
