Orchid and Other Flower Mantids

[Sheldy]

My wonderful girlfriend has decided to get me some orchid mantids, and im buying myself some Creobroter flower mantids. Ive done my research, but obviously when im buying such an exotic and expensive species i want to be as careful as possible.
Quite simply i was wondering if rather than giving me text book quotes and suchlike, could any of you give me some inforamtion from personal experience with these species. Maybe some advice or preferential treatment you give to these mantids?
Any help would be greatly appreceated!

You need advice from either metallica or Mantidassassins. I keep mantids myself but not the orchid or flower mantids.
