erm i can get u 1 but theres not much to see tbh...i use a 32 0z deli cup with wet paper towel at the bottom..then i use fabric with elastic band for the lid.i tryed puting sticks in there but they stay on the lid so now i dont put any thing in the cup.i got them at L3 there sub adult now...any thing will do really..doesnt have to be any thing special.
The substrate in the tank is two inches of gravel topped with three inches of peat moss and then followed up with a final substrate of black sand. Sand works very well to retain the moisture locked in the layers beneath. Once the subtrate is initially wet, a 65% humidity is easily maintained with weekly misting. The tank is easily cleaned by sweeping the sand with a small paintbrush and scooping the trash out with a spoon. Black sand also works well as an added bonus cuz it is the same color as mantis droppings.

No, they seem to love it
Climb around the twigs, the top. I handfeed them anyway so it's np And they still have to grow a bit.I also wanted a bigger space to keep cannibalism minimum. Nothing happened so far and I don't think it will. And also, I wanted it cause it looks nice in my room

i would put some honey somewhere in the tank where the flys can eat and then i would drop 10 flys in there..soon as the 10 are eaten throw another 10 in there..beats hand feeding them.
