    I am getting an invert I once disliked!

    So a couple weeks ago, I made an in-person trade. I received 2 tarantulas for a handful of my older mantids. I was able to view their collection, tarantulas, other spiders, scorpions, vinegaroons, roaches, and hundreds of preserved butterflies, stick insects, spiders, beetles, etc. (he owns a...

    WTB First tarantulas

    I have kept various mantids for about a year now, and I think I want to give T's a try. I am looking for a fairly young pair (to breed in the future, they do not need to be adults), something fairly hardy and good for beginners...Mexican red knee maybe, or something with similar care. Let me...

    Blue bottle flies (problems and sources)

    Hello, several months ago I found a supplier of blue bottle spikes that I had good luck with. They do not sell them to be hatched into flies, but as a bait or reptile food. For the last two months, the hatch rate was less than 10%...I originally blamed my humidity level this time of year. They...

    S. Carolina hatching

    I was just wondering how an S. Carolina ooth hatches...do they all hatch at once, or is it a slower process? I was away for 4 days, came home to 3 dead nymphs, 3 live nymphs, and one miscellaneous leg on the bottom. The ooth was a good size, captive bred by me.

    Success!

    Today was my first attempt at pairing mantids. These are my Griffins. I did it in an open room, on my parrot perch. I added some fake greenery to it, and it seemed to work perfectly. I fed her a roach, put them on, and waited. It work about 15 minutes before he was on her back, another 15 to...
