nocturne sudden change in temperature for ooths

[checco]

hi to everyone,

I usually switch off the warming cables for my mantis on the night.I've read on ukmantisforum that it is useful for increase longevity and stoutness of mantis.But a nocturne sudden change in temperature is also healthy for ooths?Because in some specialized sites8like swissmantis.ch or mantisonline.de there are signed ideal daily and nightly temperature for mantis,but a single indication for ooths(for example from the site mantisonline.de:

Temperature for P.paradoxa

Day 25°C- 30°C

Night not less than 20°C

ooth: Temperature ca. 25°C )

What do you think?

I think in nature the mantids and oothecae will be in the same environment. But,(not sure) it might be faster at hatching an ooth if it is kept warm. I treat my mantids and oothecae exactly the same,( Only, I don't feed the oothecae. :lol: ), with no problems so far. I have only kept species that are local to me, but they definitely are kept cooler in my home than they would be outdoors in the warmer months.

In natural environment, they would have temperature changes, so don't worry about it.
