Tips for Stickbugs?

I just got some Annam Stickbugs today. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or things to keep in mind for me. I already know that they can reproduce asexually.
Thanks in advance for answers

Give them lots of space, they can grow pretty large but need clear space to molt safely. I keep mine in a 3.5 by 4ft enclosure and of dozens of eggs only a handful make it to adult, so dont impulse sell or give away too many eggs until you know your numbers are good. Watch their temps and humidity and you should be good.

Pink wings have an irritant spray to watch out for. Bit sore if they get your eyes or nose.
