how long does it take for a mantis to be full grown?
ive got two 1" mantis but they are just to small and all they do is hide.
how long till they are big enough to come out and explore and build burrows etc?

They will start coming out as soon as they feel safe and comfortable. Cool critters! Patience...

Fast!!! lol.
They must double in size in a few months. I would say in about 3 months. Not sure though. It's difficult to evaluate when you see them every day ;)
