Housing:

Mantids don’t require much space but the cage or container needs to be able to accommodate them as they grow. Generally the container must be 3x the mantis length and 2x for the width. It must be well ventilated to prevent the growth of mold

This species is VERY cannibalistic and should be house separately

Critical that this species have sticks to climb on. Having sticks of varying size is best so they can choose one of appropriate size to hide on

Temperature:

They prefer temps from 75-88 F with lower temperatures are night. Anything lower than 68F can be dangerous. A heat lamp or heating pad can be used to get the desired temp.

Humidity:

prefer humidity above 60%. Misting every 2-3 days is sufficient 

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:

They're not very picky eaters and will catch anything they can hold. Flying insects are the preferred source of food, but will willingly eat small worms, crickets and roaches. 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. 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
