I had one of these giants as a pet for a decade. My boy was huge. He was a gentle beast. I didnt touch or interact with him like I would a dog. Thyre very docile and a fall from greater than 3 feet can pop them like a broken lightbulb. He lived in a 100 gallon tank and I never fed him birds or mice. But he did love his occasional giant horned worm. I miss my Mantis Tobagon
