Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. I think I'm going to reconsider whether or not it's suitable at all. I don't really want to remove the top, but that seems like it's a deal breaker if I want to put a mantis in there. Hmmmm...

Also, maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way. Given my conditions (~68-72 average temp, 80%RH), is there a mantid species that would thrive in this environment?

One more question, any recommendations for a small, efficient heat mat to put under the terrarium?
