Mantids at Room Temp?

[jake7917]

Hi everyone. What mantids can be kept at room temps (~20 degrees C)? Personally I’ve kept Chinese, Ghost, and Shield mantids at room temperature, but are there any other species that don’t really need a heat source?

I keep most o f mine at room temps. If some need something special, I will work it, but I like it simple.

I keep Grizzled mantises at room temperature. I keep most of my mantises at room temperature.

the only guys I give extra heat to are Blepharopsis mendica
