Test Tube L (16mm x 150mm) - Plastic Test Tube for Ant Colony & Ant Queen

Test Tube L (16mm x 150mm / 20ml) – Essential for every ant keeper

Starting a new ant colony almost always begins in a test tube. This plastic test tube L has the ideal dimensions (16 mm diameter x 150 mm length) to offer a fertilized queen ant the peace, security, and humidity she needs to raise her first workers. Additionally, the tube is extremely suitable as a drinking water reservoir in the outworld or as a flexible expansion of an existing formicarium.

Choose the desired version: With or without nesting substrate

Customize your breeding setup completely to your wishes. Through the selection menu, you can optionally choose a nesting substrate. With this substrate, you immediately create optimal moisture distribution and structure for the nesting area, making the test tube even more suitable for breeding more challenging ant species or as a direct replacement for your current nesting tube.

Unlike glass, this plastic test tube is lightweight, sturdy, and impact-resistant. This makes the tube very safe to use when caring for, connecting, and moving your colonies.
