Welcome!  What kind of mantis will you be getting?

Welcome to a fun and addictive hobby!

Thank you for the suggestions.  I tend to stick with the smaller sized vivariums (8x8x12).  The larger species might find it a bit cramped.

I'm looking to redo one of my older vivariums as well as creating a new one.  I was wondering what are a few mantis species that thrive best in a high humidity tropical vivarium.  Thanks!

Thank you, all! @hysteresis, it is  a mendica but the vivarium has a paradoxa in it.  You can actually see the ghost perched on the branch (sorry the pic kept uploading sideways).  My understanding is that mendicas need drier and hotter accommodations which is why she's not in the vivarium.

A few months ago I started keeping mantids in conjunction with making vivariums/terrariums and I'm truly enjoying it!  Excited to be part of the community.  Thank you and I look forward to learning from a lot of you.
