Lets see what you use

I used to love this thread when everyone posted their enclosures but sadly it has traveled to the third page where it is never seen....SOOO I found a way to bring it back

im moving my mantids out of their usual spot for some cleaning so I took advantage of it and took some pictures.

two ghosts live in here currently and can be seen in this picture

and another shot of the ghost enclosure:

Another larger critter keeper I have:

Ha, thanks Katnapper :lol:

Im a big fan of keeping my mantids in nice looking preferably larger containers..... I've been dubbed "mantid man" ( ) from family friends and they frequently want to see the bugs when over at our house. Its nice to be able to show them off in spiffy looking enclosures.

I finally got my bigger, more permanent bug area set up (before most were hanging out on book shelves or on my snake cage to mooch off his heating lamp), so I thought I'd share how it looks currently:

There are those metal type of shelves again, lol. :lol: I wonder just how many of us have our mantids on these, hehe.

The metal shelves were very cheap, offer plenty of air-flow, aren't a fire-hazard when paired with a heating lamp, and are cat-resistant (my cats refuse to try and stand on wire shelves). Perfect choice!

Glad you like it. The mantids (specifically the ghosts) love it. I've got another generation of males and a female in there right now

Man thats a real classy set up you got there! Are you using a mixture of live and fake plants are all they all fake or live? I kind of want to experiement with a small plant terrarium where i can let some orchid mantids crawl around.
