Good setup?

[buddhistsoldier88]

I was looking for substrate when someone suggested eco-earth and I came upon this website and in this site i saw a nice setup. Could it work for mantids? http://www.veiled-chameleon.com/weblog/archives/000154.html

Once again, please include yes and no'd with your answer :lol:

Yes it would work for mantids.

It would probably be better for housing a group because of its large size.

You could always go for a cheaper and more simple set-up if you were planning on housing just a single mantid.

Other good substrates are vermiculite and spagnum moss. Both cheap and available from all good garden centres 8) :wink:

Small setups are more ideal. With large ones you tend to have to use more food to ensure everyone gets enough. For substrate use the eco earth or spaghnum moss.
