Here goes, I attempted a journal on another forum but I got distracted. Time to try again.
OK, I have a small tank from Antstore with a Camp Lateralis Queen and x2 workers and some eggs. on the 29 May they moved out of the test tube and went down a pre-made hole. There they have been since, until today at 17:45 after putting a brine shrimp 'block' in a worker emerged and started to check it out. I can see a little movement in the nest area but it is mainly covered by the sand.
Images will eventually follow!
I keep the tank at 30degrees constantly (with a light timer set from 10 - 18.00) the night time temp goes down to 19 degrees (my average room temp. The tank has salamis (?) stones at the bottom holding water with a tube (blocked by cotton). So I presume it is humid under the ground. The surface is quite warm and dry.
