[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 316202, member: 10650"] Either of the net cages will work. I misread the dimensions of the first one you posted, lol. For some reason I thought it was being measured in centimeters rather than inches ? A Hierodula can be housed in a 12x12x12 [B][I]INCH[/I][/B] cube just fine or you can go with the taller one. You'd be surprised how far a Hierodula nymph will go to chase after prey. I fed mine in the 12x12x18" terrarium from when she was L4 and she always found her food but you can feed in a separate smaller container if you prefer. I wait until they go on sale to buy Exo Terra terrariums. Petco has really good deals from time to time with free shipping. Most recently I got a 12x12x18 for $49 during their Christmas sale and when they had a Mother's day sale I got three 8x8x12 for $26.50 each. Father's day is coming up so they'll probably have another sale. [/QUOTE]
