    Heat wave affects devolpment?

    Heat here definitely speeds them up,they seem to eat more and in return it triggers them to molt in shorter periods,as long as they are not too warm I don't think this is an issue,unless you are wanting them to keep longer lol

    Help to choose a mantis

    If you want something similiar to your first then go for the hierodula majs or sphodos as they are very similiar in shape,need and keeping,and won't need specific dryness or heat. There are really great exotics on that list like empussa and gongy though but you would really have to watch how...
