Hopefully this embed works. Just got one of my D. lobata yesterday. I didn't realize they could jump like this. P.S. I just got a cold so I'm sniffling a lot. :P

I'm going to start up again with some plastic containers. However, I have a cool idea that I was considering if someone has a good suggestion for how to best go about it. I'd really like a nice display, and while in the pet store today I noticed some exo terras and thought they were very...

Hey everyone, This is Bryce from Alabama. I just ordered a couple of D. lobata's from Rebecca and I'm looking forward to their arrival. I spent a year raising a few P. paradoxa a few years ago, and managed to successfully breed some as well. I just started grad school in the biomedical...

So I have ghost ooths for sale. I was going to wait until these hatched to sell as nymphs, but school is really cracking down and the expression free time is something of a joke lately. I think it may be better for myself and the nymphs to just sell them now. They will ship from Huntsville...

I mated my female ghost twice in the past week. Admittedly I was a little worried when she didn't immediately lay an ooth, but the matings appeared to go well and I read around the forums and it seemed the consensus was don't worry too much. Sure enough I walked into my room and she was laying...

I don't know if any of you have heard about the shooting at UAH, but I'm actually majoring in biology there. During lab meetings I sit in the room where everyone was shot and it seems surreal. It's so frustrating that they haven't announced who is dead yet. I've never had Dr. Bishop (the...

I recently finished reading through Prete's chapter on prey recognition and the chapter on vision and hearing (haven't finished the book, so if there is an explanation later forgive me) and it discussed binocular disparity in the fovea eliciting strikes and side-to-side peering for distance...

I really liked this movie. It's not a happy story at all, but I highly recommend it to anyone that can enjoy a tragedy. Viggo's acting and the imagery really impressed me. Anybody see this movie? What did you think? Also, for you old school PC gamers, the book was one of the original...

Yeah, so I'm fed up with the on again off again working out and the tight pants. I just ran 4 miles at my local Y (I absolutely hated it). While I think I'm willing to do the running, I also want variety so I don't get bored and quit. I figured there has to be some healthy mantid keepers...

lol, I don't really know what I'm hoping will happen.... I went to remove my "dead" ghost from the container and it was still moving. I have no clue why she decided to keel over but I got a random idea. My brother has lyme disease and the treatment involves trying a lot of random antibiotics...

A buddy of mine came by and took some pics, he gave me permission to go ahead and post them, so here goes: and here's one from me: Hope you liked them!

Wow, what a great day for college football. Alabama just burned a bandwagon and stuffed a big fat media hype sandwich back down Tebow's throat, and, by the looks of his composure at the end of the game, I'm guessing it had extra onions. :lol: I felt bad when they decided to continue to...

I have a paypal account (which I prefer to pay with) and will pay up front for any reputable breeder in the U.S. who is willing to sell 1-3 subadult female P. paradoxa with heat packs. I am also willing to trade my female adult P. affinis or a subadult male P. paradoxa. If anyone is interested...

I hope this is question is clear, if not I'll get a pic but I don't know how successful I'll be with photography anyway. I have three P. paradoxa and I keep going back and forth between whether or not I have males or females. Two molted yesterday and I could count 7 segments while they were...

Well this will be random but I could use the advice. Over the past couple years I've gradually reached a point in my college career where I'm not interested in the whole redundancy of partying 24/7 (though I do enjoy drinking occasionally). Which, considering the amount of course work I have...

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17895 Neat, huh?

I was cleaning my mantis containers for the first time today and I noticed an interesting behavior in my P. paradoxa. In between cleaning the containers I would keep the ghosts on my arm. Occasionally it appeared as though they would look directly at me and reach up in the air, on the front...

Saying I don't have a great camera is an understatement, but I'm a poor college student and the parents don't appreciate photography so here's the picture.

So having woken up with a bit of a headache after a very fun Halloween party and a tad too much Pinot Grigio, I figured this topic seemed appropriate. What is your favorite alcoholic beverage, including brand, and why? (eg: cost, taste, lager, ale, fermented by Tibetan monks on the peaks of...

Hello! My name is Bryce! I go to the University of Alabama in Huntsville where I intend to major in biochemistry, but I also plan to take a lot of zoology classes as electives. I like to camp, play guitar, kayak, attending live music concerts, read way too much fantasy literature (I'm a nerd...
