[QUOTE="ohaple, post: 320609, member: 11034"] They are completely custom designed and built. It started as a pile of acrylic and wood. The only parts we didn't build are accessories like the lighting and heat pad. Have a small humidifier that we keep in the area, but it is not very effective. The damp substrate seems to do a fine job though. The care guides I have found range from about 60-80% humidity for H. majuscula. My main concern is mold, which is why we have springtails and isopods coming in the mail today. We have been struggling with our fruit fly culture though, so I am a little nervous about keeping springtail and isopod cultures. So far this has been very rewarding. It has given us a lot to learn and enjoy. I am glad I created this thread since it made me re-investigate the adult size of the h. majuscula. The ghost mantids will eventually get to move into these enclosures when the giant rainforest gets too large. I still haven't done it, but we plan on using the front part of the base to put a laser-etched species identifier, which will be neat. Maybe if I look at it enough times I will eventually remember how to spell hierodula majuscula without having to google it. ? [/QUOTE]
