Different types of praying mantis enclosures are available, each with its own pros and cons:

1. Glass Tanks:
   • Pros: Excellent visibility, retains heat and humidity, prevents escape.
   • Cons: Limited ventilation, heavy and fragile.
2. Mesh Cages:
   • Pros: Superior ventilation, lightweight and portable, ideal for communal species.
   • Cons: Reduced visibility, limited heat retention, potential for escape.
3. Acrylic Cages:
   • Pros: Great visibility, lightweight and durable, customizable.
