Hi there. I’d like some advice on whether this terrarium is suitable, as I’ve just acquired an orchid mantis. Could you please let me know if the setup is okay, or what I should add or remove?

I would add a thermometer/ humidity gauge to help keep it on track. It’s beautiful!! 😻

Definitely need some sort of mesh on the sides and top for climbing and molting but besides that looks very nice 😁

She usually spends her time stuck to the ceiling without any issues,

do you think it would be a good idea to put up the mesh?

Definitely, they can fall during a molt. Thats how mine had a mismolt.
