I get my red runners from sgvmantid. Highly recommended. I used to buy from them on ebay, then I got smart and found SGV Mantis on Facebook and I got the quantities I actually wanted for much cheaper.

Thanks! Here are some of my more recent photos. We currently have 24 mantids, mostly ghosts and spiny adolescents. I love big mantids, but thus far 3 mismolted, and the 2 I recently ordered died from exposure to cold from shipping.
