Default DIY Mantis-arium

Been working on this when I've had some spare minutes and thought I'd share it with you guys. Its going to house mantids. There are four 'compartments' and the top of each compartment has flyscreen for ventilation and for somewhere for the mantids to hang from.
Its made from acrylic.

Each section is large enough for a heatmat at the back should a particular mantid need one. Its front opening so in theory the mantids should continue to hang while I open the front, rather than legging it out the top as with jars etc.

Just needs decorating and filling with mantids


During building..



Finished and in position on its shelf....
