Species: P. wahlbergii trio
Tank Size: 5.5 gallon turned sideways
Temperature: ~80F day ~70F nights
Humidity: ~60%
Heat Sources: 24hr heat pad, day lamps
My trio I got from Yen a few weeks back. I'm getting back into mantids and you gotta love the spiny flowers... Here are some shots of the enclosure and the inhabitants.
The enclosure with a shirt hot glued to the tank opening. This allows me to manipulate the setting, feed, water, and clean the mantds without escapes
The female, who matured last week. She's been sitting at that same spot for a day, just eating flies caught from mid air.
My largest male I'm going to attempt to mate with her later next week. He lives with her in the enclosure but inside his own setting.
Here he is trying to fly...
