Hello! As you can see in the title, Where are some good places to buy test tubes?
Please help I need at least 16mm Diameter and 100mm+
I'll be willing to pay 1-5$ Including shipping.
If it's more then 5$ add the website anyways!
Also is 12mm Diameter and 100mm or 75mm good for keeping queens in there?
Well please tell me some websites for selling test tubes.
Also if your selling test tubes just Message me or comment.
Please try to avoid these websites:
Icmlab.com
eBay.com
Amazon.com
Antscanada.com
Plastictesttube.co.uk

Thanks everyone for the people the helped :D

I don't think you're going to get an answer. Those are pretty much the only sites that sell test tubes for a fair price, goodluck getting them under 5$ shipped. Shipped to your area must be more than $5 alone, but Crystals might have some on her marketplace thread.

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

Most people use 16 mm diameter glass tubes.  The number indicates the outside dimensions, so 12 mm tubes are incredibly tiny inside.  16 mm is a good size for all but perhaps the smallest species.
