[QUOTE="Ilovemybirdies, post: 344255, member: 12103"] Glass and hard plastic can work if you drill holes & cut proper ventilation panels! It's just... harder to drill through glass haha. Mason jars are more problematic as well due to having a "lip" near the top that's hard for mantids to climb past to get to the mesh (they molt off the top) For adults, I've housed my orchids in mesh cubes (mist often), 80 oz plastic containers, and the males work well in 32 oz deli cups. You can also use those big cheeze ball / pretzel containers at costco / target. If you want to go all out, exoterras (modified w plastic mesh at the top) work great for vivs [/QUOTE]
