[QUOTE="*RYAN*, post: 10936, member: 226"] :D Well I think that the african mantis (S. lineola and S. centralia) are a good species they are tough little guys able survive well in room temp .. will eat just about anything (they are quite agressive tworads prey) and adults are a pretty nice size not to big .. not 6 inches hehe .... You can keep mantids in alot of things .. alot of people actually keep them in 32 oz. deli cups or jars with a stick in it .. its better keep them in these anyway when they are small nymphs anyways so that they are able to find their food. If their enclosure is to big they can have difficulty finding their prey since most mantids dont like searching for their prey they wait for it to get close. I keep my manitds in those plastic critter cages that you see at the pet store. As for food most people use crickets as a staple diet because they are easily aquired from a pet store and require little care. But its good for the mantid if you put bugs that you find in there for them to eat like moths, flies, buttflies anything that cant harm the mantis ... i hope this helps [/QUOTE]
