Hi,
I have this setup since 20th July this year, and it turned this red. I fed her only sugar water and once honey mixed with water, and another setup have was fed by honey too, and nothing is wrong there.
Do you think it's time to move her? propably in bigger, glass test tube. Or this is still OK?

You should move her. From what I know it is a bacterial infection and you should move her to a clean test tube. If she doesn't have workers yet you don't need to feed her and when you move her, there is no need for a larger test tube either. other than that I think you should be fine. Anyone who knows more, correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not an expert on stuff like this.

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.
