How the Tube To Critter Back connects, every part drawn to scale. Left to right: an RGB Critter BT (sold separately, shown cut with its rear end cap off and the aluminum bore showing), the Tube To Critter Back adapter (included, 27.6 mm), which threads into the Critter's rear, and the optional 1 inch black tube, which slides over the adapter for a longer handle. Pick the adapter on its own, or with a black tube attached in 12, 18, 24 or 30 inch.
