The eggs the female lay later in her ovidipotition will be more yellow they have a lower hatchrate then white ones but most should hatch :) White eggs of most specis are 85-90% while yellow eggs are 75-80% in my expirience anyway :D

I also should add i kept them while waiting for reptile legalization

I keep mantids beacuse they are inexpensive and has alot of variaty, I keep, Rhombodera meagera, Phylloletes breve, Phyllocrania paradoxa. Gongylus gongylodus, echomonella sp and creobrater gemmatus. And I like all of them trying to breed the ones i got as adults.

I preffer frogs, but none are legal so this cutie got my huge tree frog enclosure :P  (I used to have some but sold them once the list came out.)

Already ahead of you ;)

Well as I kid I wanted a reptile as a pet, but at the time (actually until 15.08.2017 which was 2 days ago :D) Reptiles and amphibians were 100% banned, in Norway! So i wondered to myself if there was other cool thing i could have as a pet. I discovered people keeping T's and scorpions, so...

You should be fine, ghosts are really hardy they can go above 70 if really necesarry. 50-60 you are more then fine :)  if you see the mantids trying to lick things for moisture give them a small mist, other then that i think you are golden :)
