[QUOTE="Tonypace2009, post: 335102, member: 8703"] My setup is small room with oill filled electric heater keeps temp 78 to 80 with slightly higher daytime temps. I have at one shelf wich is a wire shelf a che ceramic heat emmiter bulb that heats my hot species violins and above the heat emitter right now keep redrunners and firebrats but can run temps up to 85 to even 92 degrees depending on how close I put enclosure also using large mesh enclosure allowed mantids to move around to some what self regulate temp. As for added humidity my favorite is shallow containers with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of vermiculite with a layer of moss to hold moisture also keep moss in a closed container with springtails in the moss that will help keep mold at bay. The shallow moss vermiculite container I put into large gasket tubs that have ventalation I keep smaller nymphs and even 12 x 12 mesh enclosures in these large tubs. Have simular setup for my orchid nymphs works great. [/QUOTE]
