[QUOTE="Termite48, post: 162616, member: 3822"] With the net enclosure for example the "Net Castles" that are sold on the www.livemonarch.com web site, you have the following advantages: 1)Ships flat, stores flat 2) Has a zippered door; 3) has usually one solid side (plastic) for viewing 4) offers better ventilation 5) gives good traction for the mantids 6) allows stacking if necessary because a heat lamp's light and warmth go through the mesh of more than one cage. 7) can be suspended if needed and there is negligible weight to be worried about. 7) humidity is easily controlled by misting and by the use of a substrate ( I use coco-fiber matting). You know the features of a glass enclosure so I won't enumerate them. The main advantage is better visibility and humidity control is easier. [/QUOTE]
