Thank you for your help. I hope i can do it with no problems :) I will send some pics when they are ready. Mantis will be at home in like 15 days, so i still have time!

Im making it with your method, but i was asking because i saw some people do a few smaller holes but after reading your post like 10 times i chose the advanced attaching method 3. Thank you

I finally found a way... hahahaha How can i be so silly not finding a way?? Haha I will send some more pics on next step!

Oh, i never thought about this. That must be cheaper and better ?. Thank you sooo much for your ideas. I was trying to find a way to give them the same heat but its impossible on this surface... What distribution will be better? Maybe there is another possibilities.

Thank for your answer, i wanted to mean big hole, nut bug. Sorry. Can i give heat to the 10 cups with just a lamp? I thought maybe they will not have the same heat, thats why im thinking about mats.  Can the whole 10 cups be at 25°C with a single lamp?

Hi, i will get on 25t/26th from this month my first mantis: 5x Phyllocrania paradoxa. 5x Creobroter gemmatus. I bought today some 37 oz cup (it was impossible to find 32 oz) and i will try to do my own DIY. Can someone help me to decide what to use on the lid? Maybe the mesh holes could be...

Wow!!! Congratulations for that mantis, you have a great collection.

Wow!! Like a biologist i always wanted to do a trip like that. Im new on mantis and i would love to see photos of all that species are you finding. Greetings.

I was thinking about heat mats, but i thought they could be smaller than the whole 10 cups, but maybe i have to find better because i saw cheap ones for plants on the internet and i dont know if they could work. I asked on a local pet store about this size mats and it was like 70/80€... i was...

Hi! I finally bought 5 p.paradoxa and 5 c.gematus that i will get after my trip. Now i have to think about how to give them heat on their 32 oz cups that i still didnt found...(impossible with room temp). Any suggestion? 

Thank you all!! I will finally buy 5 p.paradoxa and 5 c.gemmatus to start.  Now im trying to find that 32 oz. cups with lid, i saw everyone have them ?

I will finally buy 2/3 males and 2/3 femles if its possible from p.paradoxa and the same with creobroter gemmatus. I have zophobas but are bigger than the mantis so i will buy some flies and some more bugs. I was thinking about geting them in different enclosures together in the same heat...

Many thanks for your answer! I will have a look on the web in a few days, just when everything is ready for them (i mean tank, heat, food and everything). I always prefer to get everything ready before buying an animal. I will have a business trip in ten days and i'll buy them when i come back...

Thank you for your help!! I had so much animals that im full of enclosures from several sizes. About natives mantis i thought they need CITES so i didnt thought about them... Could you recommend me an easy to find on sale and easy to rear mantis? Phantom mantis will be my first for sure, but...

Hi, i was thinking about to breeding mantis (my first mantis), so i was looking for easy to breed species and someone talked me about limbata or phantom mantis. More advices? I would choose 1 or 2 species to start. I would like to have a small group (i assume they cant be together) assuring...

Hi! Im a Spanish 27 years old man and biologist who is really interested in Arthropoda. I bred phasmids, tarantula, scorpins and moths before among others... I was reading a lot about mantis and how to keep them and i hope to learn a lot before buying anything.
