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.

Very clear. Easy to see my queen tending to her brood. My test tube was too big so I just removed the rubber seals.
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!
Really helped with my new colony! Highly recommend!
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
I'm able to watch my test tube set up now without stressing them too much. Plus with this one I was just able to save 1 of the queen from drowning
It was a tight fit for the test tube, perhaps I should use a dab of Vaseline in the future. Apart from that its cool to see the girls working in what they think is darkness
Fantastic
Great way to be able to watch the queen without stressing her too much.
Very happy good product and service
Great for viewing
Does a great job of keeping my queen calm and comfortable!
Absolutely love this. My ant is very happy in this
Great for my colony :)
Make sure you order for 15mm tube (or smaller). It fits perfect on my 15mm tubes. My queen is happy in here and hopefully will lay soon...
