Yes, that looks like Camponotus.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Actually, I take that back that could be a Crematogaster sp. queen, could you get a better picture of the abdomen?
I don't know for sure, someone else might be able to verify.

Ummt too hard to get best pic cause the queen too active. The abdomen is oval-slim (not pointly)

Oh, ok on one of the photos it looked pointy that must have just been the angle. Definitely Camponotus!

Crematogaster have more square heads, don't determine on the abdomen.
