Outworld or test tube portal

I am new to ant keeping and have a question, should I get an outworld, test tube portal, or both? does it depend on the species? does it depend on colony size?

I would start with a test tube and portal set-up, but have an outworld ready. You can practice designing your outworld, without being in a rush, so it is ready when your colony is ready for it. A small colony does not need a large area, and most likely will not venture out into the outworld much. My Lasius of over 500 workers is still rather small for the outworld I have them connected to, as the bulk of the colony remains in the nest. It is cool to watch them foraging in the outworld however.BlindeGearstring wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 12:43 pmI am new to ant keeping and have a question, should I get an outworld, test tube portal, or both? does it depend on the species? does it depend on colony size?
