[QUOTE="Nerdomancer, post: 347224, member: 13001"] Hey yall, I'm Nerdomancer and I currently do not own any mantids. I kept a wild caught European mantis as a kid, but I'm not sure how great a keeper I was 🙃. I'm strongly considering getting my first(ish) mantis here, but I'm a little intimidated by all the info out there. I'm really hoping to get pointed towards some good info for a beginner. How vital is climate control and how much does that vary between species? Are some more tolerant than others? Would you recommend any particular species for a beginner? Should I get an adult or just a nymph? I see conflicting information on handling your mantis. Some sources say they love to be handled. Others that you should avoid doing so. What gives? Anywho, I'm excited to start this adventure and thanks in advanced for any help! [/QUOTE]
