    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    Okay tomorrow I am going to get the jar that's half that size. Doesn't the mantis spend most of the time at the top? If so, I'm going to keep the lid at the bottom for easy maintainence, but I'm going to do Velcro all the way sound the top. And I read that thread again and it did say to hot...

    Thanks! The screen at the top is fastened with velcro on one side. I think I can feed through that. I need to check now that the glue is dry. There was one of these jars half the size of this one. (This one is a gallon I think, and the other one had the same width, but was half as tall. I...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    I don't know if this is relevant, but I will be keeping my mantis in my Spider Room. The temp is kept at a steady 80 degrees and I keep humidifiers going to keep humidity around 70%. That is just in the room. It is a little higher in the enclosures.

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    Okay, I ordered a 3rd instar Ghost Mantis today thinking that with my many many spiderling enclosures I would have something acceptable to house it in. Now, after reading, I don't think I do. Here is what I have to work with- Acrylic cubes from Hobby Lobby- different sizes- tall, square, etc...
