After I started breeding Chinese Mantises for pest control, I was introduced to this species through the tarantula forums last year and bought two specimens that lived out their entire lives. Unfortunately, the two specimens I bought were the same sex so breeding was not an option for me.
I enjoyed the species so much I recently came back to this mantis forum and purchased more. However, I started to notice that a lot of people say a Deroplatys Lobata is a hard species to keep both for breeding and just care in general. I didn't have a problem with them the first time, but is true that this species is notoriously hard to keep and requires very high humidity levels?
I wanted to start breeding them (which I hear dis also difficult), but I'm also kind of excited haha. How would you rate this species?
