My mantis residence

[andyita]

Hi there,i decided to house my mantids in these tanks.

There is a single Phyllocrania paradoxa in each section of the larger one and one in the smaller one.

Heating mats are provided for both of them and le lamps are 40 daylight bulbs.

I'll soon post the other vivariums i have for the fourth P.paradoxa my Popa sp and two Deratoplatys desiccata.

Cheers

Heating mats AND lamps? Is the room really cold?

Yep,It's my basement.The ambient temp drops to 15°c.With the lamps and mat it's at 29° more or less and drops to 20-23 with the mats on and lamps turned off at night.

The Empusa though is not heated at all and is doing just fine.
