Hello, i've just been wondering, when should I move my Colony of Black Carpenter Ants?

 

At how many worker ants to upgrade them from a Test Tube setup to a bigger chamber, such as the AC Test Tube Portal?

 

 

Thanks!

Anywhere between 5-15 workers for something like a AC test tube portal (I think a lot of people just use that as a feeding ground for young colonies). To move to a formicarium, I would say about 35-50 workers. Hope this helps (this is all fro my own expierences).

Been keeping ants since January of 2021

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
