Epquipment?

[Cornsnake Kid]

Hey, I was wondering what equipment I'd need for a stander green mantis. Any info is greatly apprecaited. Can I use artificail plans or live? Thanks.

You mean plants right? Live works best because it helps keep up the humidity but artificial plants work too as long as your mantis has no trouble climbing them.

Jar and stick is what most of my mantis are in (except the free range ones ) By all means if you only have one go nuts with the enclosure!

free range lol i call those escapees. i prolly got 30 free range chinese nymphs in my house

lol I keep a ghost pair on a plant.

ahhh the chinese seem particulary nomadic i dont think they stick around near the tank once they escape. i wouldnt ither though its like armagheddon in there
