Hmm... another Canadian Member ............................If U are looking for Mantis I'll be the Guy lol .................
Depends what side of the country she lives on.

Welcome to the forum ArtisticArachnid. I'm also from Canada. SilentDeviL and I are in southern Ontario.

Regarding the African twig mantis, I keep mine between 75 and 80f, which is actually the temperature I like my room, so no heatpad or lamp required.

Maybe theres a breeder within driving distance though. I imagine there has to be one at least on the west coast, and probably Quebec as well because they're more lax on pet laws.

I thought I was being pretty reasonable assuming there were more than 3 hobbyists in canada. I dont care or even want to be the biggest breeder I just want to have fun caring for my pets.

There aren't many hobbyists, but I've already got interest in those T. sinensis that hatched from the west coast. They have mantids at reptile expos, and there are lots of people in quebec with massive Tarantula collections that wouldnt be welcome in most of Ontario. Im just saying its possible that theres another breeder we just havent met yet. I hope there is because I'd love to grow the hobby in Canada, which is why I'm so glad to see a new addition :)

 
Well if you get an ooth that lasts 5-6 months and then it will hatch and at least one will survive until 12-18 months, so that's about 2 years there right?

I'm in Alberta! As far as I'm aware, there are no breeders here either that or they're just incredibly hard to find. I'll keep in mind that you two are from Canada, as I'd like to get ahold of some nymphs if possible. The adult mantids I got from the reptile show have only lasted a month since keeping them, all that I have left is my juvenile Thistle mantis.

 
Thanks to everyone who welcomed me! It's nice to know there's a few people from Canada as well, I really appreciate the warm hellos from all of you.
