Heterochaeta keeping

[Znawca_Bigosu]

Where do you keep your Heterochaeta mantids? Tall terrariums are pretty expensive. And I have 3 of them.

Currently, in larger pretzel containers, but I plan on making a couple large net cages for the pair I have.

But how do you keep it warm and humid?

I have all my mantids in a small room with a heater, usually set at 88F. They don't need very high humidity, so an occasional misting is enough for them. Heat lamps might work as well, but I have not tried them.
