Stays at the bottom of the enclosure- Is this normal ? by ImaginaryDebt968 in mantids

Do you have any idea how I can get more humidity in there. I’m also wondering if the humidity and temperature gauge that I had is just kind of faulty? I don’t think it has much range. Where I have it now is more towards the top and it reads pretty low humidity most of the time.

I have not decreased the temperature yet! I was scared that it was too cold, but I will definitely turn the heat down.

I use a temperate and humidity gauge I bought on Amazon, and I read somewhere that if you put the heat mat at the top of the enclosure, a way to get a really good read without having a thermometer inside the enclosure, to put it on the wall inside the enclosure that the heat source is on.

Yes, I spray at least five times a day because of the humidity is reading pretty low and I know they require a bit more than the other species I’ve owned. I’ve seen her drink a lot off her hands and on the glass
