How long do mantises live
Most pet mantises live 6–12 months from hatch to death. They are short-lived by nature. Risks are dehydration (they need misting), starvation (refusal before a molt), and injury from prey that fights back (feed appropriate-sized, soft-bodied insects). A well-misted, properly fed mantis completes its full life cycle.
Enclosure: airy and vertical
Use a tall, well-ventilated mesh or glass terrarium (at least 3× the mantis's length in height). Provide perches (twigs, fake plants). Substrate is optional; paper towel eases cleaning. Escape-proof — mantises are experts at gaps. Good airflow prevents mold and respiratory issues; avoid sealed, stuffy boxes.
