that's just the temps in the winter when spring/summer comes it's get hotter in the room. it's a small room 6x6 something around that. but if I have to get another heat source I eventually will. thanks again.

my room that I will be housing my mantids stays at a temp. of 70-74 degrees 24/7 in the winter. Do I need to raise the temps up for mantids or is that suitable for them to live in NJ winter. thanks

ok thanks so I guess someone can delete this thread.

Sorry if this has been done before but I can't seem to find the thread. Also if this should be in the housing section sorry again. As some people know I'm new to the hobby and would like to just see how everyone's Mantid Rooms look like. Thanks to all who post.

I'm new to mantids but all those colors are just beautiful. Did they all have the same parents.

I think dividing the tanks would be best probably use some sort of fish divider. I like the ghost mantids too but I rather give them there own environment so I don't have any deaths.

Hey everyone I'm not planning on getting any mantids until June, so I want to start reading up on mantids first before I jump right into it. I have 10 ten gallon tanks and 1 twenty gallon long tank would you suggest using them for mantids enclosures or just selling them all and buy those 32oz...

Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully someday own some mantids. For now really just want to learn what I need to learn in order to successfully keep and maybe someday breed mantids. I've always been heavy into reptiles/amphibians and fish but now going in a new/interesting...
