Hey there.

 

Simple question(s) - does Camponotus chromaiodes prefer low humidity like their cousins Camponotus pennsylvanicus? Are there any oddities to keeping chromaiodes or keeping a queen that differs from pennsylvanicus?

Both species are cared for the same. I keep them around 80F and moisten the formicarium every week to 2 weeks.
