Right now, I'm keeping 1 mantis in my ball python's tank, and the other 3 in my corn snake's tank. I did this because I didn't find any information on minimum temps that they can live in, lol. My house gets down to about 60-62 degrees F at night, is that too cold for an African mantis, Egyptian, and two Giant Asians? They're all pretty small for the moment, so it's working out okay ;)

Thanks!

get a heating pad or a lamp. With the lamp... youll need a timer and myst more.

 
What are the daytime temps? Above 70? If so you will be fine.

 
If no one's in my house we turn off the heat, so the temps wouldn't always be above 70. It's actually working out okay at the moment. Thanks guys!

I would get either a heat lamp or even just a regular desk-type lamp that shines on them when the temps go below 70 F. You don't need a timer, but you may need to mist more, depending on how much higher the temps increase under the lamp (or a couple of lamps).
