Can anyone who has bred these before give me any info on the temps and humidity i should be keeping them at? thanks.

Most people would tell you that average temperature would be sufficient in the 70-80 degree range and like around 70-90 percent humidity but in my experience the temp works well for me and as far as humidity goes,I dont really have much humidity problems with most of the mantis I have and the few that had problems were minimum! If you happen to wish to sell any of the nymphs when they hatch would gladLy buy a few if around 5-10 dollars of course I am from the U.S!

This species is used to dry and warm conditions they do not need high humidity.

tell me about it

i had to raise the air temperature to get the males to mate, am going to try and keep them at about 25-30 degrees Celsius with relatively low humidity as the come from really arid environments.
