So I have a giant rainforest mantid (hierodula majuscule) and I know they prefer temps over at least over 18 degrees (64 fahrenheit), but he's in a small cricket keeper as all the other tanks and krater keepers I have are just too big for him at the moment. I have a night heat lamp that is 75w and as it can get a bit cold in my house I was wondering what else I would need to set the light up above/next to his tank, to regulate it and make sure it doesn't get too hot.
Or if there is something else I can get instead for nighttime heating for him, although his enclosure is plastic so I'm a bit wary.
I've got some pictures attached of what he's currently in, the pink kritter keeper was the one I originally had set up for him but it was just too big.
