Is this too big?

[Chrome]

They didnt have what i was looking for.... so I just got this...

its a bit over the top isnt it?

Too big for what?

 

[wuwu]

technically, there is no such thing as an enclosure being too big for a mantid. the only problem is that it's harder for them to find their food. but if you only have one mantid, and plenty of food, that won't be a problem.

Hard to tell how big it is but for an adult it should be fine.

Better to have nothing then use that. It may mold if wet and won't hold humidity. Got to get it somewhat humid for that all important final molt.
