I can't believe I never thought of that! That is brilliant!

My mom found this really awesome container for my 'weird new hobby'. I loved it, except for one thing... The whole thing was made of glass. How the heck am I supposed to drill holed into it?

OMG! I can't believe it never occurred to me to use those containers! That's brilliant!

I am really sad to have to put this in. I really wish I had better things to say. The main reason why I wanted to order from Kevin was because his site would tell you the skill level suggested for each type of mantis. Since this would be the second time I would keep a mantis, I loved that. I...

Well...I got my refund. So now here it goes, trying to find another breeder. LOL Thanks again everyone!

I sent an email pretty much saying 'Either give me my mantids or a refund' If I don't get a response by end of day, I am assuming I'm getting my money back. But I will be talking to Paypal about my options. Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

Thank you Rick! I was beginning to wonder if I was being unreasonable. This is actually Week 3 for me. I got another email from the seller saying that they are catching up on their orders. If that was the case then why not just tell me? Anyway, I asked for a tracking number and I'm just going...

I decided to go ahead and move on with someone else. It's been three weeks and I already told them that if I didn't get them by Friday I would ask for a refund. I'll wait until Friday but I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, this would be the second time I have ever kept a mantis and the first...

@Synapze, I didn't even realize there was a section on Breeder Feedback! I wish I had known, I would have done more research. I really should explore the forums more. Although, I am a bit embarassed, I should have thought to look here. It makes sense that there would be one here. I felt so bad...

Sorry all but I only just realized that it's really poor form of me to put that up when I haven't yet resolved the issue with the seller. I should give them the chance to respond to my inquiry before airing dirty laundry. But since it is Friday and they are in a different timezome, I know I...

Hi everyone! I am worried that I am overreacting. What is a good time fame from when I ordered a mantis to when I receive it? Thanks everyone!

Hello everyone! I ordered three new mantids, Red Armed Mantis (Hierodula Venosa), and I should be getting them this week. I'm excited for them to be here but I am nervous. This would be the second time I have kept mantids and my first time to start with L2s. The last mantis I had was given to...

Unfortunately that will have to wait until I get a new one. Bruno passed away a couple of weeks ago and I can't get a hold of my friend.

Is it only females that do it? That's really interesting. Now, when I get my next few mantids, I'll be watching to see if they do it too!

That's the worse part of it for me, I did do a lot of research. I was going to do more before actually getting a mantis before we found out our friend had some he was willing to give me. He had been keeping mantids for a long time, years, so we figured he knew what to do. He's more my husband's...
