My dream cage would be a walk in size all screen cage about the size of an average room. It would have a variety of live plants beautiful little stone walkway, and even a little water feature. Or course I realize there are some major flaws in that plan, like actually finding my mantis again after releasing it in said cage. :huh:
I've discovered my version of the best cage is not my Chinese Mantises ideal cage. All they want from me is some nice screen cages that are easy to cling to. They don't care about any of the plants, sticks, or other accessories I add. All they want is their wall to wall screen and they are more than happy. When I had my first mantis, I got my dad to make me a custom built cage with screened sides and ceiling for easy climbing. I started to add tons of plants and sticks but out of all the chinese mantises I've kept, I have yet to find one that could give a ###### about all the extras.
Was one of the things I loved when I finally tried a ghost mantis out. Spook was the first mantis to actually explore and enjoy the entire cage.

That "dream" could come true with about £60 haha!
I was imagining a "dream" more on the scale of a garden sized tropical greenhouse with lots of different species in different areas! A bit like tropical world up here in yorkshire, with lots of free ranging bugs and birds etc!
