All data for the temperature are guide values.

In a big cage the temperature should be from the minimum to the maximum temperature, so that the mantis can choose the best temperature. But the maximum temperature should only be reached on a small spot.
In smaller cages should the middle between the max. and the min. temperatures be choosed.
