[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 289623, member: 8619"] Gekkonidae, thanks for showing your project. I was out gathering items today and can hardly wait to get started. I also understand about cutting the top grid into individual doors. Thanks for that. Mine will be much simpler and never as good looking as yours, but it is a great way to give each mantis more room---and I'm tired of looking through plastic! Lame, I like the idea of tiny hinges. Maybe Hobby Lobby would have some (like for doll houses) if I can't find them at the hardware store. I have lots of isopods and springtails, too, and they do a good job. Right now all my tanks have a couple inches of coco fiber/sphagnum substrate full of cleaner bugs. My 108 oz containers just sit on top of it---the only way I can easily keep the humidity up. When I clean the containers, I just toss uneaten bugs, etc. into the substrate and stir it up occasionally to get it off the surface (never tried tossing the frass into it though. But Gekkonidae has his set up so beautifully that I can't see where anything could be stirred to hide the mess. I need to be less anal, I guess---gives me shivers. Thanks, guys! [/QUOTE]
