Hey guys,
This is my first time keeping a mantis and have decided to go for a giant asian mantis nymph (L3+). I have kept tarantulas in the past so i know about the whole moulting cycle and pre moult phase where they will stop eating then shed. I've ordered the mantis and a 30x20x20cm enclosure for it as well which will be big enough for it at the nymph stage although it will probably outgrow it and have to go into a larger enclosure, I have a custom made one that is nearly ready that measures 350mm high by 350mm deep and 500mm long which i will probably put it in. so any advice on enclosure sizes and heating or just general tips and hints for a first time keeper will be much appreciated, i know online care sheets can be terrible and miss quite a lot out.
