[QUOTE="Rick, post: 1530, member: 13"] I use sphagnum moss in the bottom of the enclosures for my mantids. I get it at Lowes. Home depot sells it as well. It comes dry and you soak it in water. I put about a half inch of it in the bottom of the tank. Keep it moist by misting every day or every other day. This keeps the humidity up to allow for proper molting. I also use sticks from outside and fake plants. A few of my enclosures have real plants which are just small, indoor potted plants. Make sure your mantis has room vertically to molt. No need to fill it up with sticks or plants. I don't use any of the moss for my S. Viridis' which are basically the same as the Lineola. Just mist them one a day lightly on the inside of the glass.
