Maybe you think it's normal.. but maybe it's not If it happens so often I think you are doing something wrong, like not spraying often enough! Even if you think you do..

Hm, I never spray and I don't get any mismolts. Last time I remember, a mismolt happened 3 months ago and the mantis was extremely weak to begin with.

Idolo, how's your caging?

i use cages when i go sleeping or when we go to somewher 4 a while( cages are 40cm tall, 20 cm wide and 30cm long the upside and to sides are ventilation, some sticks and leafs are in.. temp=22 celcius and humidety is between the 60 and 80% in sumer 90%. when i,m home they live in my plants and everywhere else they go(even in my bed..lol) i dont know why it goes wrong... maybe they moult 3 cm above a surface <_< @ mj... ye they steal my drugs <_< -.-

You may want to consider using some fine mesh screen or paper towel (kitchen towel). Leaves and twigs don't always provide the necessary molting surfaces.
