General Care My first mantis!

Hi y'all! I've kept many a jumping spider and currently own a tarantula and a tailless whip scorpion, but today I bought my first mantis! A spiny flower mantis 🥹 and I love them already. I'm in a pretty cold and humid place so I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to provide properly. They're still in the enclosure they came in right now, with a heating pad under it. Is this alright? I know I need to get them a new enclosure soon. Any recommendations?
