Is she cut on her faster? (Abdomen) in the pictures it looks like it is cut or damaged, could you confirm please?

You test tube look like it has a lot of water drops inside it. Careful of this as she can drown.

Although I am not familiar with the subspecies, it looks like a components queen. Have a look at the subspecies in your area online and you may get a better result as u can see her in person.
Research is important before during and even after you have established a colony. There is always time to learn and to listen to others experiences. Live by this and your ants will thrive. Fail to do so and your experience may be brief.

I actually have to say Crematogaster spp. I found it matched the shape a lot better than the Camponotus spp.
