[QUOTE="Termite48, post: 155355, member: 3822"] I am raising some C. pictipennis also currently. I have provided for them a small net cube for their habitat. The problem with any glass enclosure is that it is the least like nature to the mantis. It is great for us, the viewer and caretaker, but for them, the net cube provides the much needed air circulation or ventilation that they so much need to cope with higher temps. Just think of it as Arizona temps with low humidity and much circulation vs. New Orleans with lower than 100 degree temps but with much humidity. Which one is more comfortable. If you cannot avoid the glass enclosure, do as Phil suggests and remove the heat source to a comfortable temp, using the formula that Phil aluded to in his comment and you can add some shade like a plant (imitation) which the mantid can use to get out of the direct artificial "sun". This is just the observation of a Mantid newbie, but Biology graduate. [/QUOTE]
