I appreciate it. I bought them as babies (L2 I think) and I didn't really have any plans to breed them but I began to consider it once it turned out to be a male and a female. Either way it's a shame 🤷♂️
Hi everyone,
I have 2 P. wahlbergii and one of them appears to be in pretty bad shape. I think it's a female and she molted about 2 weeks ago, no wings yet - I'm not sure if that's relevant information but it can't hurt. As of today she's moving very slowly and seems pretty weak as well - in...
I ordered two P. wahlbergii babies from DeShawn; they showed up happy, healthy and ready to demolish some fruit flies! I'd definitely purchase from him again in the future.
I have 3 new flower mantises as of today-one's really small, one molted in the shipping container and is a bit bigger, and the other one's pretty decent-sized I guess. There was a fourth one that arrived and I gave that one to my younger brother. I got them from Sally and posted positive...
I'd totally buy from her again. I asked for 3 Creobroter (I think) and 5 were shipped. She cares A LOT about the mantises and the buyer, and getting free mantises plus inexpensive shipping was a plus.
Hopefully she'll just turn greener in the future. I'm not sure how or why she just kinda suddenly turned green, though. But it's awesome that you've got a green ghost now! I'm really hoping mine turns green in the future. :P
I'm pretty much the same way, except I plan on keeping my tarantulas throughout their lives.
However, it's really interesting how mantids seem to be so trusting of people. That doesn't really make a lot of sense to me, seeing as they're prey to some larger animals in the wild and stuff like...
First off, I really like my little ghost mantis. If he/she passed away it would suck for me, but frankly I wouldn't be devastated like if something happened to my snakes. My mom is okay with me having mantises, but she gave me a funny look when I was holding my ghost last night while I...
You should totally get a Pacman frog. I have a 'Fantasy' cross named Peggy and I love her to death. May I also suggest an African bullfrog or a Budgett's frog? They're even more awesome than Pacman frogs. ABF males get friggin' BIG and Budgett's frogs are totally aquatic except during...
I'm looking for really any mantis from the genus Creobroter, or a Hymenopus coronatus. I'd prefer a L3/L4 nymph. PM me if you're interested in selling one or two! Thanks. :D
Well, at least you know how Heterometrus venom stacks up against H. troglodytes. That's a really interesting experiment for sure, but I'd suggest repeating it a few times and see if the results differ.
