[QUOTE="Doogienguyen, post: 347900, member: 12162"] So I am planning to get an orchid mantis. Ive had a Spiny Flower before but i know Orchids require more work. The first terrarium will have a mesh top. I am not sure if i can add cross ventilation for the side panels. The second terrarium can have cross ventilation on the sides and one at the top. I posted a picture of the panels with cross ventilation. I like the first terrarium more but i am wondering if i cant get the cross ventilation how important is that for an orchid? The top mesh is huge. 1. Is just a mesh top ok for Terrarium 1? 2. Are three panels ok for cross ventilation for Terrarium 2? Two on the side and one at the top. 3. Do i need a mesh top instead of a vent for Terrarium 2? I plan on getting plants for the mantis to hang from. 4. What kind of mesh is durable for the top? Not a fan of tulle since it feels cheap. Was thinking Polyester, Nylon or Fiber Glass Mesh. I live in Southern California if that changes anything. Thanks for the help!! [/QUOTE]
