Due to its uncomplicated keeping and active behavior, it is one of the most popular mantids in terraristics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The animals reach a size of about <\/span><span class=\"s1\">6 to 8 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and usually show a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">green to slightly yellowish coloration<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. This makes them look very natural and they fit perfectly into a planted terrarium. At the same time, their strong stature makes for an imposing appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Suitable for keeping is a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">high-built terrarium<\/span><span class=\"s2\">as mantids need a lot of space at the top. A rule of thumb is   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">three times the body length in height<\/span><span class=\"s2\">so that the animals can moult easily. A terrarium from about  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 30 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> is well suited for adult animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The furnishings should consist of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">branches, twigs and climbing structures<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  exist. These not only provide support, but also serve as preferred perches. Mantids hang upside down on such structures to moult.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The temperatures should be between <\/span><span class=\"s1\">22 and 28 \u00b0C<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> while a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">humidity of around 50-70 %.<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  is ideal. Regular, light spraying ensures that the animals can absorb sufficient fluids. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Sphodromantis aurea<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">  shows a very active hunting behavior. The animals lie in wait for their prey and strike at lightning speed. Suitable food is    <\/span><span class=\"s1\">flies, crickets, cockroaches or other suitable food insects<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which are reliably accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The animals are always kept <\/span><span class=\"s1\">individually<\/span><span class=\"s2\">as most mantids are cannibalistic. Losses can otherwise occur, especially after moulting or during mating. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Due to their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">robustness<\/span><span class=\"s2\">their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">strong feeding behavior<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">easy keeping<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> is <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Sphodromantis aurea<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">  an ideal species for anyone who wants to start keeping mantids.
