I don't really care if that thing grow big and eat my crabs I was going to take that tank apart and sell it but now I will wait a little bit and see what happen. There is no sand, but it's a real jungle of vegetation so it will not be easy to find it.

Also will they come out and forage for food or do you have to always feed them near their hole?

my peacocks were out quite often but my g.smithi wasnt out a hole lot at least during the day when i was watching i guess it would depend on the type of mantis.they are def pretty cool though i bet yours will enjoy the macro hiding places have you noticed if its a smasher or a spearer yet?? did you get an id on him/her????
