Like most of my posts directed at OP, this one also had double-meaning. You see the top 3 of the 4 recommended items are "edge guards/proofing" tables/corners as the items describes, this would prevent any test tubes rolling off the table. The other meaning which you guys clearly understood was stop crying thus the baby proofing. So yes, I was being helpful but I was also intentionally being rude. I don't dislike OP, I think he is entertaining but a troll thus trolling a troll.

Why did you make this topic if you're not looking for alternatives.... Why make an entire thread, complaining about a broken test tube? This is not a chat room, or a discord server. It is a forum, and should be treated as such.

Let me guess Joe Mama? You all may laugh now I said the joke. This thread, like all others created by the highlight of 2019, has turned to bullying and other non-topic related posts. Hightlyze I suggest only posting topics that have actual meaning to them not “Test tubes are stupid because I accidentally broke one” or “Ant keeping is stupid because one of my queens died.” Ask questions that you can genuinely not google up and post topics that won’t spark controversy

On a related note to what PLA said, think before you post. Or, you can PM a reasonable person, and ask, "Is this a reasonable thread/post" This will decrease the amount of counterpunches you recieve. Also, use of proper grammar will help make people take you seriously.

I keep mine in a box covered with a thin layer of black foam. Provides a little insulation and keeps them nice and dark and (hopefully) warm. 

 

Insulation doesn't keep ants warm, lol. Insulation doesn't generate any heat, it insulates. Since ants themselves don't generate any heat, they will be the same temperature as the environment they are in, even with insulation.

True, but depending on the temps true if the room they are in, the installation may prove useful for someone else, but depending on the conditions your 'ant room' is, it may not be as effective with you. It was a helpful post nonetheless though.

Yes I know. I keep a space heater in the room they are stored which I also turn off at night. When it is turned off the room starts getting colder but the box they are kept in remains warmer for longer than it normally would be.

Okay, that's good to hear. I've seen a number of times people being like "I wrap my ants in a blanket in order to make them warm." So I assumed this was one of those instances

Insulation is only effective depending on the temperatures, so if you keep them in a warm room, the insulation if multiple times more effective than in a cool room
