I’m a beginner mantis owner, is this enclosure okay?

So I’m fairly new to owning mantids, I used to have a ghost mantis and that lived a year, but I’m getting a Giant Asian Shield mantis that is in instar 4-5, so I’m wondering if this enclosure will be good? Also yes I am installing a mesh top with double-sided mounting tape it’s arriving tomorrow. The enclosure is 20x20x35 and I’m using Exo Terra coconut fiber substrate. Much thanks!

My normalsville oc (but I can’t draw for SHIT 💔)

His name is Rhino (named after the genus Rhinolophus) and he’s a horseshoe bat I haven’t drawn his body tho because it’s too hard ☹️

showcasing my new regional aircraft

tbh I haven’t played since 2023 so this is my first build in a long time, it’s inspired of the dash-8 family. any suggestions will be appreciated! (ignore my shitty flying)

Redesigning my school’s house COA

No I can’t draw but yall see the vision right? I mean, still it’s better than the other one that looks very bad… Also the flowers in the background were drawn by my friend!
