Fuck you I want one of these now
But I'm questioning whether or not my boyfriend would find it a bit creepy or weird. What kind of reactions have you gotten from normies when you tell them you have praying mantises as pets?

>room temperature is fine for most of these
wtf, that´s one unqualified statement..

You are also not "reducing the chance of a good molt" with low humidity in e.g. G. gongylodes
They are very well adapted to dry climate, just the really young nymphs (l1/l2) need pretty regular, LIGHT spraying

Get a ten gallon fish tank and a Betta. With good plant cover and interaction, they act a lot like cats.

Or you could try a small school of corydora, they are super fun to watch.

Females up to about a year. Males a bit less.
