Light shade cover for Queen Ant so you can observe your Queen anytime without exposing her to too much light. Most ants are blind to red light so the Queen will be more relaxed in under a red filter.
Hole Size:
15mm hole to suit test tubes up to and including 15mm
Light Shading Hood Size:
110mm (L) x 35mm (W) x 35mm (H)
It is important not to bother the Queen more than needed once she has settled in her new nest. Ants do not like bright lights and some species also react to movement more than other. If she is disturbed too much she may not start her egg laying, eat all of her already laid eggs or die. The idea is to simulate a life in the ground. So, place the test tube in a dark place. Only check in or her once or twice a week to make sure she is well and that her brood is developing.
Working well, the Antastic team even made sure my test tube fit into the correct size and allowed Zoë to have the space she needed!
Very happy good product and service

Does a great job of keeping my queen calm and comfortable!
Absolutely love this. My ant is very happy in this
