I moved my californicus into an empire of ants plaster nest and I want to know if i can make it humid or not?
Currently Keeping:
Pogonomyrmex Californicus Bicolor & Concolor
Pogonomyrmex Subnitidius
Camponotus Sansabeanus
Where did you find them?
There is a important time for everything, important place for everyone, an important person for everybody, and an important ant for each and every ant keeper and myrmecologist alike
Around palmdale. When i read DSPdrew's journal about these he said that they exploded in population but i want to see if its ok.

they exploded in population... due to humidity? I did a keyword search and did not find anything about humidity or population. All I see is that the queens died in the end. I didn't really look through it.

I always look at this paper when referring to Pogonomyrmex:
https://www.asu.edu/...mrex queens.htm
Pour enough water into the nest to wet the entire soil column.� It is best to do this slowly so that there is not a great excess of water (though this will eventually drain through the molding).� Wetting functions to hold the soil together once the queen starts to excavate her nest, and also provides the moist environment that Pogonomyrmex queens need to successfully found their nests (see below).�
Ant Journal: http://www.formicult...-journal/<br> My colonies: C. Semitestaceus, P. Californicus, V. Pergandei, S. Xyloni.
Can't get better advice than that
