    I've decided to change it a bit. The design was so compact so I tried to move it back to kinda give him more room to move about. I'll post pics when the water clears up a bit.

    That's fine. You don't have to try and make it perfect though. They will mod it to their liking........trust me. ;) (Then they will change their mind in 2 or 3 days).

    Couldnt agree more with this, my mantis rearranges his entrances every other day, sometimes he decides a frag would make a nice "centerpeice" to his den.

    Hmm. Question. Where can I get a small one online? All the lfs don't have any nor do they want to order one. And if they can order one there aren't any available for a while. One of the lfs was suspicious as to why I would want such a destructive creature and then proceeded to have assumptions that I wanted to FIGHT them. WTH? SO where can I get one online. It seems hard to find any.

    I've seen them online occasionally. I see them on the wholesale lists often. However, by the time I brought one in, re-acclimated it, and then re-shipped it, it wouldn't be financially feasible.

    Have you contacted Inland Aquatics in Terre Haute to see if they'll special order for you?
