Mantis Mansions©
Mantis Mansions are an incredibly functional habitat for Praying Mantis,
Poison Dart Frogs, Reptiles, Spiders, Feeder Insects, and scorpions. The
plastic is a commercial grade which has the unique quality of not
fogging up or showing water spots as much as the softer plastics do.
This results in less cleaning for you, a better view of your pets, and a
first class look for your habitat.

Mantis Mansions have a 4.5 inch opening which fits the
4.5 inch diameter
insect lids that we offer in our
insect cup line ( The large hexagon has
a plastic lid that you will need to ventilate).
Each Mantis Mansion has a separate hole for feeding and misting (per
your request) which
almost eliminates the need to take the lid off. This reduces the chances
of the inhabitants escaping or being crushed as the lid is put back on.
We provide a 1 inch tall by 1-7/8 inch round
foam stopper to close the
hole, and it is very easy to remove and replace. Another advantage of
the foam stopper is that it gives an extra entrance for air to the
habitat.
When you look at the appearance of a Mantis Mansion compared to the
plastic rectangular boxes at pet shops, you will agree that the Mantis
Mansion looks 100% better. The Mantis Mansion is less expensive and a
lot easier to use, by far. Give one a try, and you will be back for
more!

Tall Rectangle
4” wide x 4” deep x 10” tall
As you can see, I use these containers for hatching ooths! They work great for the species that have a large hatching. For their first week they can stay in here hanging around on the excelsior and feeding is easy with the sponge plug for easy access with a funnel for feeding fruit flies. Shown with a cloth lid that keeps nymphs inside along with the small Melanogastor fruit fly!

Short Rectangle
4” wide x 4” deep x 6-3/4” tall
This is another good container for hatching ooths, it is also good for just a mantis house from hatching to adult. It is wide enough for small to medium species like the Blepharopis Mendica, P. Wahlbergii or the Miomantis to live in comfortably and as all the containers are clear, the view is excellent!
