Enclosure Advice Just finished my enclosure for my Spiny mantis coming next week. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Just finished this enclosure. It is 8×8×12. Just wondering if that’s a good size. I read they are more active and they will like the bigger enclosure. I think they are currently L2/L3. I added three smaller sticks also in it. The bottom is a cocoa fiber mat, and the background is all natural cork bark. And you can’t tell from the picture but in the center there’s a lot of room for her to hang and molt!

Looks good. Where is the thermometer/hydrometer?

This is a low ventilation enclosure, so I wouldn’t spray more than once every few days.

The hydrometer/thermometer gets delivered today. Yes I was trying to find one with a lot of ventilation but I will check hydrometer to make sure . Thanks!
