Could I put a Purple-Winged Mantis in a 29cm x 20cm x 19cm tank?
If not, what about a Jungle Hunstman?

 

[snakeluvver]

Yes to both

 

[richoman_3]

just have on the top of the tank for the mantid though

It's just a Kritter Keeper tank so it has a red lid with little thin holes.

Thats what I use for mantids. They just need something to cling to when they shed, the little holes do well.

 

[dihsmaj]

Right I was hoping I could only keep one species...
now I have to choose which one to get.

 

[snakeluvver]

lol I'm getting a few there are so many cool types, unfortunately theyre rarely for sale.
Get a Stick Mantis, they grow to 12cm and are cool looking. Bark mantids are small (2-3cm) but look AWESOME.

 

[richoman_3]

you could get a tarantula in that size tank easy

 

[snakeluvver]

Yeah but they need high humidity critter keepers arent always suitable

there is a thing called stickytape

 

[snakeluvver]

there is a thing called stickytape

Yeah but it makes the enclosure look ugly.
I like pretty enclosures :lol:

then use invisible sticky tape?

 

[snakeluvver]

Lol good point for some reason I was imagining ducktape

Thanks for the info about the Tarantulas being able to be kept in that, my dad is now considering me getting one.

LUCKY! I'm not allowed any T's or scorpions. I can see you turning into nick with all these cool animals... grrr :lol:

 

[dihsmaj]

Wait would I be able to keep Selenotypus plumipes in that?

 

[richoman_3]

Wait would I be able to keep Selenotypus plumipes in that?

yep
i would recommend Selenotypus sp.4 as a good starting T in a critter keeper . ive got my adult in there, adults will fit in a critter keeper, slings will need to be kept in little containers - ive passed the 60 mark on slings :shock:
