Pet Mantises update

Absolutely fantastic, are these difficult to keep?
 
Thanks both.

Fairly easy to keep. Living in the uk, I go for species that can live at room temperature, or near enough, just need to keep an eye on the humidity. Increase their living quarters as they grow, they need height to hang from when they shed, but not to big an area or they wont eat. Fascinating to watch and interact with, as they react to you, and even watch TV! Well....they look at the bright screen....then there'll sit on your hand and start grooming. Very cheap to keep, they generally live up to a year or so, so ideal if you don't want a long term pet, and there are loads of different species.
