Question about my peacock

Hey quick question. Brand new to the hobby of aquarium keeping and I recently got a peacock mantis about 5" in length and keeping her(laid eggs) in a 20l aquarium.
Question is, had her about 2months now and she doesnt seem as active as the other mantis i have seen in videos etc. Doesnt normally leave her burrow and as far as hunting, she normally only kills what is dumb enough to walk into her, also only eats about once a week. Just wondering if anything I should be aware of or you think I just got a lazy one.
Thanks for any info guys.
 
My 5 inch peacock has days he only sticks his head out and days he is all over his 30 gal. domain. I believe all mantis have their own personalities. I have never had one with eggs, maybe that's the difference.
 
Yeah she seems healthy so I was thinking its just part of her personality, She still looks awesome, even if she doesnt run around alot.
