Hello 

I just had a large hatch that caught me unawares, in terms of both food and time. I've already been contacted by a few parties that would be interested in buying some of these mantids, but seeing as they are not even l2 yet I'm afraid to ship them. Would it be better if I were to wait until then? Or should I wait until they are even older? Many thanks 

Sincerely 

Santiago 

 
L2 at least. L1s shouldn't be shipped. This time of year it's a good idea to know the weather forecast for the destination and pack according... heat packs, insulation, etc. 

 
I haven't had much trouble at i2. I've had no trouble at i3.

I'm of the mindthat  i2 spinys are too delicate whereas i2 ghosts ship all day long. ;)
