I moved my californicus into an empire of ants plaster nest and I want to know if i can make it humid or not?

Where did you find them?

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:

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).�
