Moisture thoughts...

So I have a few queen ants in test tube set ups(some have eggs some don't). How often should I check on the water level of the test tube and how do I do so without disturbing then and causing them to eat there brood? I have been a newbie and checking them every day.

Hi Broncos,
water in test tubes last a few months, depending on how hot the room is or if it needs changing due to mold etc
Keep the tube covered or in the dark, you can slide a cover back to just show the water when you check it, this won't stress the queen?
