QUOTE(tunemystylez @ Feb 15 2010, 01:27 PM) sorry to ask, Bro actual fact they can.... but not all can do that (co-existence) with others either same species or not. for example P Paradoxa (ghost mantis) can live together as long as there are enough feeders can they(nymphs - adults) cohabitat in a tank?(example exo terra glass terrarium PT2600)  . But most will eat each other especially the female...they are brutal ya know  .This post has been edited by AshJ: Feb 15 2010, 02:39 PM |

QUOTE(tunemystylez @ Feb 15 2010, 02:58 PM) what about the dead leaf mantis and orchid mantis? Some says..It is ok with Dead Leaf Mantis a.k.a D Lobata, truncata, desicata to be together in one enclosure as long as space and feeders are available  but not for flower mantis (Hymenopus Coronatus) as they will start eating each other usually after it's L3 (3rd instar). But both species should be individually kept for viewing pleasure unless introduce them for breeding purposes and it should be monitored if not u can find the male head  next morning .LOL.Surf the net...there's a lot caresheet for each individual mantis..  .prefer more towards insectore.com |

QUOTE(blitzboy @ Feb 16 2010, 01:39 PM) Because if it's aggressive hunting and killing ability, even can kill a prey larger than its own size. But how big they go or aggressive they can be it just for food...lolI wonder can a mantis be handled like the way we normally do in handling a leopard gecko? almost the same, my leo wont mind me holding them until they become boring and so as this guys. The behaviour is they like to dance on ur hand swaying..actual facts it is their natural instinct judging its defensive posture but afetr awhile they relax and just hanging on. ...It is the looks most of mantis keeper admired at & same goes to leos |

Substrate m using paper towel as easy for cleaning purposes. They need mist sprayed alternate days or daily for those L1-L2 nymph.
I think our weather has got enough humidity but they in o/seas r using substrate like peatmoss etc |
