This high-quality test tube is the ideal choice for keeping your ants safely and comfortably, whether you are raising a new colony or need a temporary space. Specially designed for myrmecology, every detail ensures a safe and controlled environment for your ants.
With dimensions of 16x100 mm, this tube offers the perfect space to house a growing colony, maintaining a closed and secure environment.
The stainless steel mesh lid prevents ants from escaping and keeps mites away. Its special design prevents the tube from spinning on smooth surfaces, providing stability for the ant colony.
Unlike traditional cotton, PVA sponge does not rot and is completely reusable. It provides ants with safe access to water without the risk of mold buildup, ensuring a constant and safe supply of hydration.
This ant test tube combines practicality and safety, allowing you to care for your colonies with maximum control. Ideal for breeders and ant-keeping enthusiasts, it is an essential tool for maintaining healthy, risk-free colonies.
Add water to the bottom, cover it with the PVA sponge (insert it with a cylindrical object so that it does not twist), and place the lid with the stainless steel mesh. The water will remain accessible to the ants without risk of flooding, while the sponge ensures they can drink.
Yes, the tube lid has a stainless steel mesh that allows for proper ventilation while also preventing ants from escaping. Its leak-proof and mite-proof design provides a safe and controlled environment.
Some species or colonies may be prone to trying to break the sponge, but during our testing, this has been very rare. The PVA sponge is high-density, making it durable, although some larger or more aggressive ants may try to damage it.
Yes, the tube is completely reusable. The PVA sponge can be cleaned and reused without losing its effectiveness, making it an eco-friendly and economical option for caring for your colonies.
PVA sponge is much safer than cotton because it does not rot or decompose over time, which reduces the risk of mold or bacteria. In addition, it provides ants with constant and safe access to water.
Yes, this tube is suitable for most ant species commonly kept in captivity. Its size and design make it ideal for small or medium-sized colonies, especially in their early stages of growth. Keep your species' needs in mind, as a larger species or one that is semi-claustral during founding may require a different setup.
