I've always loved trance music (started listening to it when I was 8 years old) although I'm also into world music (especially reggae and dub), ambient and lot's of eastern music. I mostly like neopolitan and arabic scales

Most mantises aren't very hard to keep (especially compared to some reptiles) although there is a few more tricky species out there. I'll give an example.

- My Gongylus gonylodes (original habitat: hot, dry regions in south india) are kept at a temp between 30-40°C. Have a humdity around 40% and are fed only flying food like flies and moths. Never any crickets or insects high in protein.

- A Hierodula membranacea on the other hand will do fine at room temp. Needs to be sprayed around once every two days (humidity 50-70%) and will eat about anything.

Some are harder to breed because the males of some species develop much faster than the females so you'd need te keep your males cooler so they develop slower etc.

But generally they are quite easy to keep.
