I have searched on this site for tubing sizes but nothing has shown up. As I am looking at making a formicarium, and I was wondering what tubing size is recommended for general size (large to small) since I am likely to re use this for different species as the last outgrows it.

I'm here to learn, mostly.

13mm is pretty big and a good all rounder for two way traffic. Plus you can plug a 16mm test tube directly onto a 13mm tubing - external diameter

 

10mm seems like the more usual size in commercial nests and outworlds, although some use 13mm
