Glass test tubes, magnifying loupes and observation tools for ant keepers. Everything you need from queen founding through colony inspection.
Every colony begins in a test tube. This one, 16 × 160 mm borosilicate glass with a round, water-tight bottom, is the founding tube keepers across Europe rely on. Fill a third with water, plug with cotton, add the queen, and you have the dark, humid chamber she needs to lay her first brood. Crystal clear so you can watch without disturbing her, heat-resistant, reusable for generations. Sold as a single tube.
Start your colony the way experienced keepers do, and add one to your order.
Stop squinting at the nest. This folding 2–3× loupe brings a colony into focus through clear acrylic or glass walls, enough to tell worker castes apart in polymorphic species, read brood stages and check a queen’s health without opening anything. Optical-grade lens, folds shut to stay scratch-free, light enough to live beside the formicarium. From ANTonTOP.
Finally see what’s happening in the nest, and add one to your kit.
