So, this is just a thread for discussing the Camponotus genus, your colonies, weird things about them, etc. This is basically serves the same purpose as Tetra Talk, just for Camponotus though.

Let me start this off, my Camponotus Vicinus I used the dump method on from TarHeel’s Ant Desk Series are still sitting in the top of their Mini Hearth. Any thoughts on how to move them?

I mean. Nobody has chatted there since May. I may as well revive it.

You might want to add an additional outworld for the vicinus. I find that my Camponotus grow slower when in mini hearths with just that outworld compared to my Camponotus in tub and tube setups.
