My male Idolo molted last night to adult, my female is L8 with one molt to go.

If anyone has a adult female(L9) PM me if you want to work out a ooth split, or if you want to sell a adult female straight out?

I would keep 1st ooth send you the 2nd, keep 3rd, send you the 4th and so on. :)

He is in perfect A1 pristine condition, and he eats like a horse.

It seems most people have Females with no Males, so this is your chance. ;)

P.S. I would like to thank Precarious for incouraging me to get these ZooMed tanks, not one bad molt since I started using them with all my mantids. B)

nice. yeah, the terrariums are the way to go. net cages are old school and out dated unless you have 60%+ RH in your room.

my ghosts have it made in the shade in them. my rooms RH is only 40% -50%. yet I mist only once in the daytime and have 65% durring the day, and as much as 90% at night.

you just can't go wrong with the zoomeds or exo-terras.

YEAH!!!

Congratulation, my friend! You did it!

:lol: :clap: :lol:

My girls are gettin' all pretty looking forward to a date.

i think this is a female because of the curvy thin antennae, but i just got the subadult molt figured out.

had to have taken under 2 hours while i was reading a book!

congrats on your male!!!

Congratulations! Unfortunately my adult male died the other day. :( Where did you buy your plastic matrix? Also, what is the thing on the left side of the image? Good luck with breeding. :)

 
the plastic matrix was from a craft store; it has something to do with crochet.

the thing on the left is an idolo ooth that i got from frey for six bucks; that probably wont hatch.

 
I use a similar plastic mesh that I got from mantisplace for the tops of my acrylic enclosures. I have wide mesh screen on the backs for climbing, but never thought of them for the "flip". Pretty "crafty" (pun intended).

:)

 
Very clever flip screen. I knew mine was a male at pre sub adult due too the thicker longer antennae, well and I'd catch him reading Playboy when he thought I wasn't looking. :lol:

 
Thanks, I hope the flip screen comes in handy on his next molt. I'll try to get a picture if I'm lucky enough to catch it in action.
