[QUOTE="shorty, post: 79698, member: 2529"] Some mantids can live a year from birth to death with proper care. Note that keeping him in a bit colder temperatures and feeding him a bit less can extend his life as it lowers his metabolism. I bet it will live three to four more months, but that's just a wild guess. Some can live that long past adulthood, though I don't know about your particular species. Also, there is a chance that it could die because of other circumstances besides old age. He can have a bad molt, get sick, get overfed, get accidentally crushed (yeah it happens), and a number of other things. Just be careful during/after molts and study mantid care online. In all likelihood, he will probably live a long happy life. Good luck raising him! Oh yeah, if it's a male it won't live quite as long as if it were a female. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
