Hello, This colony was acquired on the 14th of May 2008. The colony contains around 100-150 workers and a good amount of brood.
The colony has currently nested in a toilet roll tube slightly submerge in the sand and both ends blocked up with the colony in the middle.
Here’s a picture of the entrance to the nest:
