    Is a 12x12x18 enclosure too large for a 2-3inch long mantis?

    exactly this, as long as you put food near em and you see the mantis eating itll be find. I use a similar size for adult spinys/ghosts. they find flys just fine. ghost tho i feed with tweezers more.

    i have been looking alot, same technique with liturgusa (basically wave my hand or hat around to get them to move). I even looking up in trees with binoculars. grisea may be high up in trees. lituirgusa have no height preferece. i see them lay ooths 20-30 ft up in trees.

    im slowly trickling them into the hobby. and aslo, i think liturgusa are competing with grisea. im in the city and i believe liturgusa are pushing grisea more into the everglades and up north. But dont ask me i cant find a grisea XD. ive been looking for a year now.
