well they do manage. maybe if I poke some holes in it or something it will be better. if those cages are in the sun for too long, they fog up and bother the mantis

....they shouldn't be in the sun at all and I don't think the fogging is what bothers the mantis.

It's bad enough your cages are clearly not adequate for keeping your mantids alive. Now your steam cooking them.

I bet your like that kid who leaves his ant farm on the window sill on a warm sunny day, and cant understand why all the ants have died.

you know, I came here to learn how to be a better breeder, not to be judged because I don't have as much experience as some other people!

Ok, i'm sorry. Just please try to apply some common sense. I myself will try to apply some patience.

But I thought you had 4 years of experience... that's much more than lots of people here, including me. You invite yourself to be judged because instead of quietly researching and learning how to be a better breeder, you continuously keep talking and posting like you know it all. Talk much less, and listen much more. That will help you.

seriously buy some critter keepers for the smaller mantids or flower mantids it gives them more room to move around and has worked well for me or cut up some juice or power aid bottles and top the tops of the bottles with like netting or something secured with a rubber bands but for for gosh sakes man just dont keep them in a place where they are destined to fail with no ventilation or space to move around!

Agent A ...I've just been thru and read a whole bunch of your posts/threads and words fail me, you need to spend less time posting and more time researching and carrying out proper care and husbandary of your mantids, it's really not surprising that they are all dying on you!!!!

+1 for bec and Cosmic. This saddens me.
