This is my first vivarium, planning on putting a mantis inside once I know that everything’s not gonna just die…lol I’ve got isopods and springtails inside at the moment that I’ve been breeding for a while, fully bioactive. Only problem I’ve found so far is the heating pad doesn’t do amazing holding temp and heat escapes fast while watering/misting. I’m pretty proud of it but am open to any tips/suggestions, thanks!

Hardscape would be nice for any inhabitant, like driftwood or branches 🙂
Nice job, you’re off to a great start. I agree hardscape would suite it well. The majority of the space is unusable to your bug since it’s just open air. I personally would add a lot of twigs, branches, shrub, etc to fill this in and give it something so navigate one. Usually when I do see mantis they are on sticks in bushes or something. Also do they need something to stand (hang?) from during moltes? Maybe the screen lid is enough?
What is it for ?
