Anyone got any adult Chinese males for sale? I want to increase my chances of ssuccessful pairings

The male later reconnected for around 2 to 3 hours before hopping off. What does the spermatophore look like so I can be sure ?

I got one of the males to mate. He connected and disconnected two times. Probably around 20 min each time. He is still mounted but disconnected now. Is this typical behavior? It was my understanding that he would remoan connected for 4 hrs plus

I will definitely try that. Thanks. ,

Thanks, hopefully they will mate soon, still no luck. My oldest male is around 6 weeks now.

How old were your males and females?

Any other suggestions? I feel like I'm running out of time. Oldest female is 8 weeks. Oldest males 5 weeks

Yep, I'll get you a pic later

Yep, all females are calling. My oldest female is around 8 weeks now. I got one male who was 1 week from last molt to mate but he was eaten. I'll try your suggestion and separate them. Did you ever get your chinese to mate when you had this issue?

How long before a male mantis can mate again?

Hi, it appears my mantis has fallen.  She has been an adult for 3 weeks.  Her abdomen is pulsating profusely, there is a greenish substance between her prothorax and mesothorax.   She holds her self upright.  I offered her some crushed up wax worms and her mandibles do not move at all, she will...

For enclosures I am using a plastic storage container (the sterlite one with the two latches).  I cut out the inside of the lid and glued mesh on the lid and then sticks along both sides and the top of the enclosure.  Isn't to glamorous from the outside but works very well.

I would highly recommend for when they get into pre sub and above to line the top of the enclosure with small to medium sticks, worked very well for me.

@MantisGirl13Thank you, this is the  only one so I am hoping to acquire a Male.
