I have one of Drew's Camponotus sp. 2 and been keeping an eye on them to see if they're ready to sleep. Over the last 2-3 weeks, it appears the larva has been growing and it appears the pile of eggs may now be a pile of small larvae. Should I let these finish growing before sticking them in the fridge?

Probably should let them grow.

At least let them grow into medium sized, then hibernate them. I've seen many people hibernate larger larvae before.

Let them grow. If they don't stop growing, let them develop. If they stop and have not grown any for 2 weeks or so, then put them in the fridge (in a warm section of the fridge).
