I am no longer an expo virgin! We got a ghost mantis and a C. versicolor. So, if course I have to post the obligatory enclosure question. Now, I know it needs more clutter at the top and I've got it ready.

My question is, should I remove the cork bark and put it more flat against the wall?

Its fine, just surround it with a few plants and add a water dish and it will be great.

I love the lid being in the bottom :). I used to keep my widows like that, makes maintenance so much easier

You may have an escape problem, can't say for sure, check carapace size against the holes!

versi are aggressive eaters, but even I would raise that size up in a smaller container- it may work for you, IDK.

I think they look bugger in the picture. She has stood over the holes often and her carapace is definitely bigger than the holes.

Yeah I was kinda on the fence about that too. I even asked the vendor because I felt like it was too big. I do have a backup smaller container so I'm still debating moving her.

Mine looks about the same size as yours. I have her in the shorter version of that same container with 3 small pieces of cork and a small little plant up top

Looks good.
The plants you added really offer plenty of anchor points and tie the look together.
