Why We’ve Selected These Items:

ProRep’s 19 x 19 x29cm acrylic terrarium keeps in humidity for your pet praying mantis while providing plenty of room for it to thrive in. At 29cm tall, it’s the ideal height for larger nymphs right up to adulthood for most species such as giant Asian mantis, giant dead leaf mantis, and giant Madagascan marbled mantis. May be suitable for Cat eye mantis nymphs but they will most likely need rehousing closer to adulthood. ProRep’s 150 coco-coir brick can be soaked in water to form a small amount of soft, moisture-retaining substrate that maintains humidity, essential in ensuring your mantis can thrive and molt safely.

ZooMed’s combined hygrometer-thermometer temperature & humidity gauge provides an accurate reading of your enclosure’s parameters. This handy device sticks on to the enclosure walls, allowing for easy-cleaning. Keeping the temperature & humidity up will keep your jumping spider happy, active, and healthy while it moults.

Included in this kit is a great selection of natural twigs, along with 15cm cork bark to give your pet more surface area in its enclosure. The golden pothos plant is exceptionally hardy, your mantis will love to hide between its leaves waiting for prey to ambush. Plants have the added benefit of boosting the humidity in your enclosure through the slow release of moisture.  And, to make the enclosure truly stand out, the mini-pack of green terrarium moss completes the natural appearance of your mantis habitat.
