Not exactly correct. You do not need to concern yourself with any specific humidity levels. Keep it warm at least at a normal room temperature. These hatch out a lot of nymphs so a large container is best. Put in some moss, papertowels or something that holds some moisture. Keep these slightly moist and mist every few days. Sit back and wait.

Can you keep them at warmer temperatures? Like 28-30 celcius? Can you also mist them every two days?

Thanks for all the help. At first, I had no idea on how to take care of this ooth.

Don't direct the temperature source directly on the ooth or it will dry out from the inside. Also don't mist the ooth directly because it might mold if there's not enough ventilation.

Don't really need a temparature source as this mantid is native to Malaysia right? Can I just leave them at normal Malaysian temp?

I guess room temp. is fine, I just meant that if you use a light source for the heat, don't aim it directly at the ooth
