A very easy species.I should have started with this one.

Yeah, aren't Texas Unicorns neat? I look forward to my nymphs reaching adulthood.

They are wonderful.I just fell in love with them.

I raise them next to my Gongylus.No mismolt,no cannibalism,1 death on 20.

I've heard that some have been able to keep these together without incident but I had two nymphs in a 32oz cup and one ate the other (surprisingly, the L3 munched on the larger L4). It wasn't due to a lack of flies, so now I keep em separate.

I kept 14 nymphs in a small terra(30cmx20x20) and 5 others in an smaller one(just in case).

Temp around 30°c Humidity level 50%.I give a good mist of water every day(they like to drink),

I remove the adults just because they take too much room for the others.It is a really peaceful mantis.

I am sure they could tolerate extreme conditions without any issues.

Nice. They used to have some of these at the zoo. I love the curves in their legs. Helps with the stick camo.
