And remember, the enclosure ceiling should have many inches of free space for the mantis to hang during molting. Overcrowding with branches and stuff is a no-no.
Definitely agree, op mentioned that they all seemed to molt relatively close to the ground. Also, for the larger species especially the heirodula, I highly suggest keeping them in as large as space as possible with little decor. The enclosure you mentioned seems good enough, although adding decor to the walls or simply taking a sheet of fiberglass window mesh and wrapping it around the interior would be enough.
