[QUOTE="ohaple, post: 325433, member: 11034"] Thank you! These move pretty well. Honestly my major concern would be for the mantis since they are the most picky thing in the entire setup. You basically forget all about the plants and cleanup crew as long as you are misting and have decent lighting. A small update. Carl ate every last one of the giant canyon isopods in his enclosure. We held back five, but they haven't begun breeding yet. The mood moss and spikemoss in the enclosures is doing poorly. I think the moisture and light requirements must be contrary to how we keep our vivariums. Our bromeliads and philodendron are growing great. Surprisingly, the mood moss in our banana roach colony, which gets no light, is doing very well. Carl and Courage have both molted to adulthood and are doing well. We don't see many of the powder orange isopods, anymore, but I doubt Courage is eating them since we can hardly get him to eat anything. Hopefully they are continuing to thrive under the surface and in the cover of the plants. We are planning to install new, better, lighting so that we don't have as many wires to contend with.
