you should mist her tank, i also have a lineola and it's my first mantis they are amazing. you will be really amazed by the molting when she does it. I spent nearly 1 hour watching her molting.

http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/natural_light.php with winter coming i think i should heat it up just a little and also had more light because right now i'm not using a really convenient light. I'm gonna order this one tomorrow. Or is there any other lamp that would heat the enclosure and...

does any of you guys know if the exoterra daylight will create some heat ?

Nice setup, you could add a background like i did in mine, might help the mantis to feel safer (check my thread there are pictures). Regarding the feeding i feel like people are a bit paranoid that the mantis won't find food. But the sphodromantis are quite active hunters. I gave mine...

Thing is that if i film her eating a fly i need to close the vivarium and then we will see reflection on the windows and the film will not be really good looking... I wanted to do a slow mo with my iphone but i think it's almost impossible because it takes some time until she notice the fly and...

Oh yeah forgot about that xD

Thanks for your kind comments. She is really liking it, i see her a lot on the woods and plants but her favorite spots remain the ... roof ^^

I really like ghost mantis. It will definitely be the next species i will keep. How hard is it to keep them ?

Nice set-up, what kind of substrate is it ?

Tell me what u think of it. Tell me if you have any question about it. It's 100% natural and is only lacking some springtails to clean and eat the eventual mould.

Hey, she molted and now she is ^having all of her legs.

Before: During the molt: http://imgur.com/H6u9dwG She is still stucked in the molt... she is moving around with the molt stuck on her abdomen... is it bad ?

dayum ###### just turned my head at her 15 minutes ago and she is molting, already got the 6 legs out. what an amazing creature, she almost became twice her old size. still not out of the mold, she is hanging by the abdomen, it's crazy, how are they doing that ? anyone have some scientific...

tried to feed her yesterday and she ate a whole grasshoper :o a bigger one than usual. I'm a bit worried because i have her for 3 weeks and still no molt...

still no molt tonight and she was not disturbed from 22h to 8h (now). I will try to move the tank but as i live in a small place there is not many places where she wont be disturbed....

still not wanting to eat the grasshopers... been almost a week since she ate and still no molt...

the cage is on my desktop and im a lot on my computer right next to it, could it be scaring her ? tried to feed her honey this morning but no reactions. I fed her last time on monday, im starting to worry a lot... going to buy some grasshopers and try to feed her when i come home

she is a lot on the glass because there is no "wall" in her cage. Maybe i should add a background but i really dont like the exoterra one

thanks for all the advice. her skin seems lighter but still no molt according to my gf who was watching her. is it possible that she molted during the night and ate the molt ? Or is she still waiting to molt ? i will try to feed her tomorrow and see if she wants to eat. she is a bit more...

I do fill all the requirements. The top of the exoterra is some mesh and she goes up there a lot. But im scared that she dont find it and start molting on a plant... if she molts, should we mist her while she is molting or just let her alone ?
