They do exceptionally well in a tub and tube set up. Make a tiny entrance to the tube for their comfort. I’m going to try an Inception nest for mine after diapause.

I think they’re pretty easy to please ants, honestly. I love ‘em.

If you can get it, I think a THA bifurcated mini hearth would be good.

Whenever I keep them I just use the classic Tubs 'n Tubes setup, honestly.
