The best caging for a mantis is one like the critter keeper type. All mesh cages don't hold humitity well and the mantis could get its legs stuck in the mesh. I keep all mine in tanks or critter keepers.
If you're interested in gongys and ghost mantids, I have quite a few ghost mantids available and an incubating gongylus ootheca. I'm selling them cheaper than anyone in the US. Contact me if you'd like some.
As for the chinese oothecas, go to Ebay and look up "mantids" and look in the garden section. Many people have them on sale and include pictures.
Take care,
Evan
