Hi, this is my first time keeping a mantis.

I recently got this enclosure and moved my mantis into it. I’ve seen a lot of setups where people add a U-shaped mesh (like plastic grid) inside for climbing and molting support.

I asked ChatGPT and it said that with my enclosure (it has a mesh top and decent grip on the sides), adding a U-shaped mesh might not be necessary.

I just want to make sure:

Is this enclosure safe enough for molting without adding extra mesh inside, or should I still add a U-shaped grid to be safe?

I’m especially worried about molting issues or the mantis falling.

Any advice would be really appreciated!
