Care Guidance

Yunnan Flower Mantises should be kept in a secure, well-ventilated enclosure with climbing points and enough space to hang safely during moulting. Humidity should be managed carefully, as overly dry or overly wet conditions can cause problems.

Feed appropriately sized live prey such as fruit flies or small insects, depending on the size and life stage of the mantis. Avoid prey that is too large, and remove uneaten food if needed.

Handling should be kept to a minimum, as mantises are delicate and can become stressed or injured easily.

Important Notes

Mantises are short-lived compared with many reptiles and require careful attention during moulting. Always research the species’ care needs before purchase and make sure the enclosure is correctly prepared.
