Housing:

Cats eye mantis do demand more space than most mantids. Enclosures should be 3x the mantis in length and 6 times the mantis length in height. This species will get very long so a large container is recommended.   

This species can be kept communally if plenty of space and food is provided

Temperature:

Cats eyes have a wide range of temperature and can do well from 65-90F. Room temperature is fine. They will grow faster with more heat

Humidity:

They dont require much humidity and can be fine with anything over 30%

Water:

Mantids do not require standing water to drink and receive most of their moisture from their food. They will however drink water drops from misting. Good ventilation is required to prevent mold growth from higher humidity

Feeding:

Flying insects are the preferred source of food. As nymphs fruit flies are the ideal food source and increase to house flies and blue/green bottle flies as they get larger. They also will enjoy moths or other harmless flying insects. It’s recommended that the size of the feeder insect does not exceed 1/2 the mantis length.

Adults can eat crickets or roaches however they don’t often climb up high enough to where the mantis is hiding and go uneaten. Most pet stores sell fruit flies and wax worms that can be grown into moths. Larger flies can found easily from online suppliers or sometimes from bait shops.
