No both can be kept at room temperature, both get to aroud 2"/3" long.
I also have Texas Unicorns available which need a bit over room temp, around 25-23C. They get to about 3"+. £4 each for the Texas Unicorns or 5 for £15.

They're both easy solong as they have the right conditions. They are kind of similar I think except they eat livefood. If you have anything heated like a reptile or stick insect, you could keep the Texas Unicorns next to/on top of them.
Have you researched mantids?
