Not sure if this can be found elsewhere but where do you all get your test tubes? Anyone know any good deals online or at stores?

I get mine from amazon, so the quality and dimensions between each batch vary.

lcmlab.com is a really good place to get a lot of test tubes for relatively cheap


I like leafcutter ants. Watch The Ultimate Guide to Fungus Growing Ants:

This video took like over 100 hours of work, you should for sure watch it.

The AntsCanada test tubes are great, and so are the Amazon ones. But the AC ones are a little bit bigger, and more expensive. You do get more test tubes for less money on Amazon.

These are what i use. https://www.amazon.c...87679046&sr=8-4

I find them the right dimensions for most ants, and they are the cheapest i can find.

Thankyou to all who have suggested so far. May get some plastic ones but mostly looking for cheap glass.

I get mine from Flinn Scientific. Good quality disposable glass tubes that fit the Tar Heel Ants Genesis inserts.

They ship pretty quickly, some always arrive broken but are still a great value.
