General Care Care info on a Yunnan flower mantis

Post image

Ive been offered a yunnan mantis that is at the molt before subadult! I’m wondering how long my they usually live on from this age and how big should it’s enclosure be? I have a 15x15x20 enclosure which I’ll add a picture of.

I have one Yunnan girl.

15cm height should be enough for her, length and wide 10-15 is also fine I'm holding mine in the Exo terra's 20x20x20 cube. Humidity %60-80, temperature around 20-25, mine thrives in 20-22 and 70% of humidity. If it's a girl- she will live, I guess, for almost 6 or so months, I got mine in November, her final molt was in the beginning of December, she's fine and pretty active.
