[QUOTE="MantisGirl13, post: 326869, member: 10807"] Good, I'm glad you understand! Just keep the temperature as steady as you can (I have violins, thistles, and orchids and the temp doesn't drop more than a few degrees at night) Yes, screen cages if you can for the thistles and violins, orchids don't need them. Deli cups with mesh sides are fine for now for the thistles, but I might get the violins something bigger. I don't know if you are planning to keep the violins communally, but I highly advise not to. I tried, and I ended up with one. Need I say more? I keep paper towel on the floor of my orchid cages (well ventilated) and mist heavily once or twice a day, and the mantids are thriving. I don't think you need to go too overboard on humidity, just keep it between 60% and 80% and you should be fine. No reptile mister required. - MantisGirl13 [/QUOTE]
