I believe the proper name for these type of test tubes is "Drying Tube, U-Shape with Side Tube" - found a local place that sells em,
but there are probably others and can be found on Aliexpress without the side tube for much cheaper

Some of these other funky test tubes could be useful for founding queens

Temperature method seems the best way to do it

ice pack on her old test tube, heat/warmth on new test tube
