Some people will go through the effort of installing a fan to ventilate their containers...but that's a little bit excessive. If you have a ceiling fan in your room or wherever the mantids are kept, turning it on is sufficient.

meh.. i used the simple and easiest way.. poke holes through, its easy enough but depends what kind of container you have.
oh and be carefull if you are using a light (thin) plastic container you may create breaks while poking the holes so be carefull!

Well a screen top is all the ventilation you need.
