New mantis owner

[Lumeria44]

Just saying hey, I am starting my journey with owning mantids this year. I have one Chinese mantis and am hoping to get something more exotic as well at some point. I love how curious and active they are.

Hi @Lumeria44

Welcome, and thanks for joining us!

Most of the exotics are nowhere near as aggressive or exciting as Chinese are said to be. They grow big too!

Having said that, exotics are a pleasure to keep and admire. Beautiful to behold. This is a wonderful journey! 

👊😎

Welcome to the forum! If you want a curious, active, aggressive, exotic mantis, try giant Asians, Giant Africans, and Budwings!
