He looks at me and tries to study, I think. which is really special, so you want a pet that does not smell, easy to clean, easy to

care

for, you want a tough little cat, but most importantly, compared to other types of exotic pets, you can take them out. and play with them, do things like watch TV with you, so the advantage of having a praying mantis is that there is no cleaning to do, you can clean their cage maybe once a week if you want and if you evolve them with a steel coat , they will do it.

Mantis experts will tell you to feed them flying insects. For those, you will keep the pupae in the refrigerator and then just take them out and they will turn into flies. and leave them, I think it's a little complicated so I make sure to get species that I can feed the crickets and you can pick them up at any local pet store, Petco or whatever, the only thing you have to keep in mind with the pregnancy is that they are a bit temperamental when it comes to temperature and humidity most mattresses need moisture for their shedding when they grow, especially the tropical species, the ones that are a bit silly looking, will need help with all their type of lobes.

Room temperature is safe for most of these insects, you can keep them anywhere in your house, away from direct sunlight, and you're golden. Some species are going to like really high temperatures, we're talking 90 degrees to over a hundred and I'll let you know about those species, they are very popular even though they have those kinds of requirements and you would care for them as you would any insect or exotic reptile, either with a heat bulb or cage heater. all you need is something that is well ventilated with places for them to climb and hang. The minimum suggestion is that the height should be three times their size and the width should be at least twice their size, which will give them enough room to shed, but definitely.
Go a little larger than that so they can move around, but don't overdo it, these are arboreal ambush predators, so the smaller the cage, the more likely prey insects are to approach your hungry mantis, most of people keep them in deli cups. This is usually how you buy them at a reptile show or from someone who actually sells them. I know these deli glasses look great aesthetically, so I like to modify the glass jars. I'll take that inside metal edge and replace it with something like burlap or fabric that will have a nice seal. I will make something smaller when they are babies and move them to a larger and slightly larger jar, sometimes they will sprinkle mouse bones and skulls on the bottom of the cages just for aesthetic reasons they are really cool here there are 12 species, from easy to maintain even more difficult, which you will see in the pet trade for a praying mantis this is a Chinese mantis this is the type of species that some children want because they release them into the wild without problem.
This is a great species for beginners. This is something you can find in the backyard. The giant Asian mantis is another very popular one. They come in many colors, from bright yellowish gold. Even the turquoise and blue type, the winged mantis is a very popular species for pet owners, you can handle them all you want, you can play with them, you can eliminate them. Very hardy species, ghost matches are my personal favorite if we are looking for beginner species that also have a really unique look. These are your great species, they just need a lot of moisture to make sure they mold healthily.
Brunner's stick mantis. I think it's the Brunner's stick mantis and some kind of Bruner's stick matches. No I don't know, I'm kind of good with this species as they are endemic to North America so you can release them, no big deal, the dead leaf mantis is extremely attractive looking, they need a lot of moisture for the mold to have success, too much humidity and you start. mold grows and that's going to be very bad for them spiny flower mantis super cool this is the brand of the Whalberg species it's a 6 or a 9 I don't depend on you looking at it on its back very, very cool the Indian flower mantis is something that I think it's really cool, but they are a little small, they have a big happy face marked on their wings, it's like a yellow circle with two black eyes, the orchid mantis has become quite famous as far as people who want to get into the hobby , the females are very large, very beautiful and the nails are very small and not so attractive.
Ok, this is the sisal mantis. I love this species and think it is absolutely beautiful. I love its cream color, but it has a kind. of extreme environmental demand and that prevents you from getting one. This is the wandering fiddle mantis. It's absolutely stunning. It looks really cool, but from what I understand it's very hard to get excited about. This is the devil's flower mantis. This is a diabolical one. This is a huge species. What I understand is that it is the most temperamental of all the rare species that people breed. There are many breeders and people who are in this type of trade, so you can find many species and I am not listing one of the big ones.
The fear I have with low humidity species is that if there is a problem and something gets damaged in a molt, maybe they lose a leg or an antenna, there they will have a really hard time surviving for a while and you wait for the next one. Molting will fix it because they can regenerate a little, but with low humidity you are reducing the chance of them having a successful molt next time, so it's kind of a gamble that they are difficult to care for. but really very interesting, something that is important to mention and that not many people want to talk about is: can you legally keep exotic mantises as pets?
Is it legal to buy and exchange them? Is it legal to breed them like me? Look at it, the problems people are worried about are damaged crops that mantises don't cause and population control which, as a self-feeding species, has built-in population control on any non-native species that we define in the USA The climate is too different from what they need to survive or be predated by the larger, more aggressive mantises that already live here, especially the Chinese mantis, so there is not really a threat of them preying on a specific species, there is no threat of them harming the plants and there is no threat.
Of them have an expanding population, but to be safe, never release any of the non-native species outside, so the most important thing here is to be responsible, if you are unsure and worried, just get a native species. It doesn't matter if they come out, there are tons in the United States, it's completely legal to buy stocks and trade, although if you want to get a mantis hobby, that's great, we want to get an avi medal, that's fantastic, okay, thanks to the ads for watching my video. If you like the blankets, I will post more things in the future.
