[QUOTE="TisRayMan, post: 335064, member: 11585"] Ty for all the important details! I would chuckle back at those folks 😄. Your methods sound ingenious and efficient. Using a gentle heat source makes sense for a somewhat delicate creature like a mantid! Is it a DIY project to hook heating cables to a control enclosure? As you mentioned you have four large groups of 25-30, are the specimens which don’t need as much heat of the same species as the ones stacked atop them, which for whatever reason you’d like differing growth rates, or do you mix species within each group, placing the lower temp species beneath? What is an effective temp differential from night to day? Out of curiosity, do mantids require the option to thermoregulate very much? I have raised ball pythons which thrive at up to a range of 16 degrees or so; what works for mantids? TY again 4 your time!🙂 [/QUOTE]
