How to care for panther mantis.

[Mantis Lady]

Have someone some experence with panther mantids? How did they care for them? Can they live on room temp? I see my beeder has them  at the moment.

Kept mine at room temp and kept them pretty dry..

 @Little Mantis I kept mine at room temp just fine, they eat TONS so make sure to feed them a lot. They are also not picky about humidity.

 

[Mantis Lady]

I have food enogh and tons of fruitflies that needs to be eaten, i think the ghosts needs to get bigger food after their next molt
