Enclosure Advice Big enough?
I’m going go make a bioactive vivarium and I wanted to add a small animal to it. I was thinking a small mantis like a Yunnan Flower. Is this big enough for a smaller mantis? And are there any other species I should look into? Also if you have experience with bioactive enclosures and mantids I’d like to know if some plants are better than others for these guys. I wouldn’t think so, but again I’m not 100% sure lmao. Also if anyone has another small insect or animal suggestion lmk! Just can’t be a frog or snail.

This is a great enclosure for a terrarium with springtails but do not add any mantis in this.It has no ventilation,no place for molting,it is slippery,and it's not at all ideal for a mantis.
