Okay so I have been doing some reading on these on watch several videos on them through YouTube but now I can't decide which would be best to start off with. I see that the Chinese and Carolina ooth's are readily available but I have seen ghost, flower (C. pictipennis) and New Zealand oh and Budwing. Which would be best in your opinions for a starter like myself.
I have owned various pets in my life from Goldfish in a little tank as a kid to now owning a 135 gallon with various pleco's. I have also at one point owned some pet Brown Widow Spiders and for a short time some Cave Crickets which I found in my yard which was odd since this is a highly residential neighborhood so no cave near by lol. I tried my hand at some ant's as a kid as well but learned they don't live long without a queen.
Now being older I wanna try this hobby out again but with more research and advice. Tried Chinese Mantids before but they didn't fair so well. I now believe they didn't have enough moisture in there tank. Just assumed they got there moisture from the food they ate for the most part which I now know is not the case. Misting is required (more misting for some then others) for them to drink.
