My current setup. Is there anything you would recommend me changing?

Wow, those look amazing!! Where did you get those jugs?

 

[MantisMart]

I just got them from Walmart. It was a jug to squirt water, but I customized it.

They look amazing!!

 

[MantisMart]

Thanks

Wow nice elaborate enclosures! Love them. They seem fine to me. Love the blue lights on the bigger ones. How did you make lights?

 

[MantisMart]

They’re color changing LED lights from PetSmart

Very nice! Do all of the cages have good ventilation?

[MantisMart]

yea, there's cracks in the cages and some mesh as well.

And the small terrariums have mesh lids

I just made 2 new terrariums today! Which one is ur fav?

(sorry for the low quality photos)

 

[MrGhostMantis]

My favorite has to be the second one because of the light!

Thanks, just make sure to limit the amount of hanging leaves for not adult mantids. They might fall while molting. I keep all greenery towards the bottom for all my not yet adult mantids.

As long as there's mesh on the roof and good ventilation, they seem good to me

Thoughts, suggestions? 
It’s not complete, still working on molting spots+ventilation.

will be used for keeping very young mantids that are somewhat communal together. (For my shops stock.)

I like that enclosure. I've notice mantises will appreciate sticks and other perches on the upper levels of their enclosures and this enclosure does an exceptional job of that compared to your others (that are still good though). By the way, what are all your deli-cup enclosures on?

Do you mean the substrate used as flooring? If so it’s terrarium liner, with gravel on the sides. I use a card stock strip as a circle to separate the 2 substrates.

No, I meant the printer. I guess I didn't realize that was a printer at the time. Do you still use it with all of them on top of it?
