Ant Test Tubes 2 pcs 18 x 180 mm Moist Bottom with Substrate Orange Divider and Grey Stopper Transparent Nest for Rearing and Formicaria
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
Ant test tubes 18 x 180 mm are a simple and proven nest for a young colony as well as for rearing a smaller number of workers. The package contains 2 transparent test tubes with a diameter of 18 mm and a length of 180 mm. The bottom part of each test tube is filled with moist substrate, which is separated from the space for the ants by an orange divider. At the end of the test tube is a grey stopper, through which moisture can be replenished using a syringe needle. According to the manufacturer's assessment, the test tubes have a moisture level of degree 2.
Since only the bottom part is moist, a natural transition from a wetter to a drier environment occurs inside the test tube. This allows ants to choose the spot that suits them best. The transparent walls enable observation of the queen, brood, and workers without disturbing the colony. The test tubes can be used independently or placed into holders and modules designed for test tubes with a diameter of 18 mm. The open end of the test tube serves as an entrance, which can be connected to an arena or closed off.

Store and use the test tubes horizontally on a stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the substrate from drying out too quickly. Replenish moisture only in small amounts and ensure that no droplets form in the space for the ants. Close the open end of the test tube or connect it to an arena to prevent ants from escaping. You can cover the test tubes with a dark cloth or lid, as the colony is calmer in the shade. Before placing the colony, check that the substrate is moist, and gently dampen it if necessary. If dirt begins to accumulate in the test tube, transfer the colony to the second test tube. When the colony grows and becomes cramped in the test tube, it is time to connect a larger nest.
A pair of test tubes 18 x 180 mm is a practical choice for both novice and experienced breeders who need a reliable nest for establishing or transporting a colony. The bottom part with substrate retains moisture and offers ants a choice between a wetter and drier area. The length of 180 mm provides ample space for the colony, and the transparent wall allows for comfortable observation of the entire colony. Both test tubes have the same design, so they can be interchanged freely. You can keep the second test tube ready as a backup or use it for another colony. The test tubes combine well with arenas and holders for this diameter.
