Due to running out of space at home, I've asked my boss and he's allowing me to use one of the rooms at my workplace to breed and keep the Mantids trantulas and my other inverts. Here's the layout of how things will work: there are no Windows so lighting will be overhead fluorescent tubes that are controlled by a timer. Heating will be done with a space heater that is controlled by a thermostat(so the room never gets above 83 and never below 75: my preference for the species I keep). Humidity will be kept constant by a humidifier And once every four-five days misting. There will also be two fans to keep the air circulating.
My concern is the lighting. Do I need to find somewhere with a window, or do artificial lights have the same effect for a mantis as normal sunlight? Any help would be extremely appreciated
