Nice pics! What conditions do you keep your double shields?

Nice pics! What conditions do you keep your double shields?

About 72 degrees at night. When there is a lot of sun the room gets about 80 degrees. The room I keep them in has a green house effect. I mist them at least two times a day. Should I mist them more or less? I feed them mostly crickets.

So how are your mantids going man?

One male Double Shield Mantis is sub-adult now. Most of them are L7. I am keeping one Blue Flash male at about 68 degrees. And the others at about 70 to 75 degrees. Two Blue flash are L7 now. One is still L6. All of them are alright. Three Double Shield Mantids miss-molted. I have to hand feed them.
