[QUOTE="Sheldon Johnson, post: 12211, member: 17"] My reasoning looks something like this... (please excuse the somewhat terible sturcture of my explanation - im very tired!) Assuming you get a reasonable sized tank, I find that a verticle tank with either a heat lamp on top or heat mat down the side gives a greater temperature varriable. In my violin colony i find that they move freely to where best suits them and often his will be to cooler tmeperatures for various reasons, so the greater the varriable the happier they are. In both my colony setups 1 measuring 6'x2'x3' the other measuring 2'x2'x5' (LxWxH) i found that the mantids would always distance themselves from the floor by about a minimum of 10", thus making roughly 1/3 of the horizontal tank useless. You had a problem with floor space right, not ceiling space? up is the way to go! [/QUOTE]
