I've been interested in bugs and critters since I was a little guy. Stepped away from keeping to focus on that fun part of life called raising a family. Got back into tarantulas in 2009 that family is around 500. I've always had a passion for mantids, so no clue why I didn't start keeping them...

In my opinion temp sounds good, large tub with good ventilation- good. I would play with the food variable = no lettuce, see what changes etc. Just change 1 thing at a time to see if that's it or not. Fingers crossed Good Luck

As a general rule I don't treat them as cute and fuzzy pets. Occasionally I will get a ascapee during packing or feeding. Nothing gets the blood flowing like a Singapore Blue sprinting up your arm. Regular handling I don't reccommend if it has fangs, teeth or a stinger bad things can happen.

I feed about 500 tarantulas and 40 or so mantids, Also have to add the fruit flies , house flies and BB. Add some chocolate to the mix and it sounds like a party

I go thru about 2 thousands crickets a month, I've found that 72-74 degrees has worked best for me. I feed them Idaho potatoes,fish flakes and use water crystals. Cleaning out shed skins, dead bodies and food waste is a must. I do have some die before being food but a small amount.

As a new member just learning about mantids,shipping and people to purchase from. Recieved my order from Yen a couple days ago and all 30 eating machines were happy and very healthy. I would say a good man to do business with. Thanks Kevin

I'm very new at rearing mantids and to this forum. But have found that everyone that I have chatted with very tolerant of my "stupid" questions and more than willing to point me in the right direction.

The view you need for sexing is a close up of the bottom of the abdoman, all this pic proves is that it's not a mature male. As for the behavior it could be caused by any 1 of many variables. Your T's abdoman is large enough,a little less food would be good. Generaly but not always a T will stop...
