I'm just about to buy a Crematogaster lineolata Queen, what should I keep the temperature at while she's in her test tube?

Also, when I move her into her nest, what temp there?

And what heating cable or heating pad do you use? Put link.

Hotter the better. Is this a newly found queen or does she have workers. Use a zoomed 15 watt heat cable, or just turn down AC.
