I put my ant in my drawer and have been checking in on her everyday for 9 seconds to see if she escaped and when I checked on her her eggs were stuck to take I used to connect the tubes!
So I have tried to put the tape with here but she gets stuck in the tape. I have got 1 larva off the table but I squished 2 eggs!
PLEASE HELP MEEEEEE

Calm down, the queen would lay more eventually. Try using a pair of tweezers to get her off the tape. And, don't spam smilies.

You can try to remove them with tweezers.

I know it's late but in this case I would have tried using a sharp kitchen knife or scalpel to cut around the eggs as close as possible and put the eggs stuck to the tap into the testtube. This way the queen could still eat up the eggs if she liked to regain those proteins. Also how did it turn out? Hopefully you can manage to stop checking daily on them. ;)
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
