Well, my first mantids were chinese mantids, they are fairly easy to raise and don't require any "significant" heating changes as they are acustomed to U.S. weather.

 
all mantis ar relativel easy except the species that need really high heating arrangments

 
My first Mantis is a Giant Asian Mantis - Hierodula species, he is very timid, will walk onto your hand and is not aggressive. He is just a Nymph at the moment.

 
My first mantis was an african species,they are fairly easy to raise and don't mind being handled. and not too expensive.
