BEGINNGER: Orchid Mantis or Ghost Mantis?
Hey guys! Brand new to the buggy community. Little backstory about myself:
-own a cat, a leopard gecko, and currently watching over my friend's Arizona blonde tarantula -experience with feeding feeder bugs to pets (to my leo) -I have a heat lamp and am used to a feeding schedule with pets
Anywho, I've been researching about mantids because I'm VERY interested in them. They're very cute and all the mantids I've seen seem to have a lovely personality :)
Question of the day: For beginners, would you (reader) say Orchid is a better beginner or Ghost Mantids are?
I've researched both of them, and simply am not sure if I'm being told misinformation(?) Or not. One site says ghost mantids are simple, another says orchids are good for beginners. Is it both? Even So I would just like people's opinions. Because I have experience with taking care of pet(s) who need humidity and heat lamps and heat sources, I believe neither one will be too great of a challenge. Tbh I also simply just need help deciding...I'm planning on getting a mantis from an online breeder in January, so I have time to prepare!
