Glass tube 16x160mm

Description

A 16×160 mm glass tube is a key piece of equipment for any ant breeder, offering ideal conditions for queen ants and their first workers. This larger-than-standard glass tube design provides extra space, which is particularly useful in the early stages of colony formation when the number of ants begins to increase.

Key features of the 16×160 mm glass test tube:

• High-quality material: Made of durable, transparent glass, which guarantees long-term use and ease of cleaning.
• Optimal Dimensions: With a diameter of 16 mm and a length of 180 mm, it provides more space for a growing ant colony, allowing the queen and her offspring to live in comfort.
• Safety: The smooth edges of the tube minimise the risk of injury to the ants, ensuring a safe environment for these delicate creatures.
• Versatile Use: Can be used both as a temporary nest for the queen and her first workers, and for transporting ants.
• Ease of Observation: The transparent glass allows for continuous observation of the ants’ behaviour, colony development, and health without disturbing their daily life.

Why is a 16×160 mm glass test tube essential?

Choosing a 16×180 mm glass tube is a decision that demonstrates the breeder’s concern for the welfare of their ants. The larger dimensions of the tube provide more space for the developing colony, which is particularly important in the first months of the colony’s life. The transparent glass not only facilitates observation, but also allows for better control of humidity and temperature inside the tube.

Benefits of using a 16×160 mm glass test tube:

• Increased Space: Provides more space for the queen and the growing number of workers, contributing to their healthy development.
• Hygienic Conditions: The ease of cleaning the glass allows the test tube to be kept clean, which is crucial for preventing disease in the colony.
• Educational Value: Enables breeders and observers to learn through direct observation of the natural behaviour of ants and the life processes within the colony.
• Versatility: The test tube can be used for a variety of purposes, from initial cultivation to scientific experiments.

By investing in a 16×180 mm glass test tube, you provide your ants with the best conditions for development, laying the foundation for a healthy and thriving colony. It is the perfect choice for ant breeders of all levels who value quality, functionality and aesthetics in their breeding.
