This is one tank i had to modify today to house my invasion of Chinese hatchlings!

measures 2ft x 1ft x 1.5ft (W x D x H) it is an old clear-seal tank with a home-bodged lid :lol:

oh well if it holds the mantis and FF's in ill be happy.(well kind of,still got 2 chinese ooths hatchin anytime! :eek: )

also got a pic of my hatchery tank which measures 18inch x 10inch x 10inch (W x D x H).

 
I'm trying to get the holes to plug with the foam. But when i drill the hole the plastic splits. now on wood you just tape it so i did that but it still cracked. Its the plastic ones from mantisplace. What is the best way to do this.

I would also like to know this. Thanks!

 
I would imagine you do it very slowly, dont rush and force it through, hold it back. I havent tried it yet, will be doing it soon but I would imagine that would stop it splitting so easily. Dont allow the plastic to bend either.

 
The home of my mantis.

It's 12"x8"x10" (30cm x 20cm x 25cm). For now it houses a male Mantis Religiosa but it will soon receive 4 ghost nymphs (the Religiosa will go to another home).

What do you think? Is it ok? Does it lack anything? Anything I could add to make it look better? :lol:







 
Ooooooh, you have yours in a paludarium. I've been meaning to set up something similar to that for land crabs, how did you do it?
