All data for the temperature are guide values.
In a big cage the temperature should be from the minimum to the maximum temperature, so that the mantis can choose the best temperature. But the maximum temperature should only be reached on a small spot.
In smaller cages should the middle between the max. and the min. temperatures be choosed.

| | | | Hint | The mantids are sensitive against coldness, even for a short time. A sign can be nerveless and motionless animals. It is important to increase the temperature immediatly, up to 35°C. After a short time they will regenerate and you can lower the temperature to "normal" conditions. This phenomenom often appears with sub- or adult ones, especially after transporting them while low temperatures. Generally, Parasphendale should be kept rather with higher temperatures, than with lower. |
