Hello all, I appear to be short of males. If you have any for sale/know of anyone who has them for sale please do share! If anyone can help I would be interested to get a hold of the following:- P. ocellata sub adult male(s). P. wahlbergii sub and mature males. Any assistance would be...

Frankly Rick is quite right, if anything should the specimen is unlikely to make it to the next moult. Significantly damaged G. gongylodes tend to readily die in my experience. I do hope you all the best however. Lee

Interesting that this point should be brought up (albeit that the thread was opened some time ago) I did not totally stop keeping mantis but rather reduced dramatically the number I kept. Frankly the reason was quite simple, i did not have enough time to keep them adequately. I have just...

Hello All, After some while away from the hobby, i am seeking to make a return. I require some ootheca, not many, the species is not too important at this stage. I would prefer not to limit the scope of my search by making limited suggestions, rather i would prefer to be approached and given...

We have a number of auctions listed on Invertabid.co.uk Including:- Ophisthupalmus sp Damon variegatus Nebo hierichonticus Euscorpius sp (Now Sold more may be listed at the beginning of next week!) Pterinochilus murinus RCF (Red Colour Form) Orthodera novaezealandiae Ootheca (Starting at...

I have found our culture to be fairly simple to rear and breed with the exception of one or two ootheca which never hatched they have been quite successful.

If you need any help with Idolomantis diabolica i can try to give you a few well placed 'tips'. I have so far only been able to get nymphs to the sub adult stage however, there after i have been quite unsuccessful. On another note. Though many caresheets have been produced in German, those...

Hey, I use Zoo med's repti sand 'red' http://www.pets-warehouse.com/Vpasp/shopexd.asp?id=125257 I have a personal preference for something which allows for a decent contrast. I keep younger nymphs on a variatio of either Zoo med repti sand or general natural reptile sand. The granuals are...

No not quite. They have the ability to run at speed, but not in the same manner aw would an actual crab. I think Yen meant it in the context of 'running quickly along sand' Perhaps. Lee

Indeed it would be nice to see them make another introduction into the hobby. I believe it was Francisco who last had Hoplocorypha sp nymphs though that was some time ago. Good luck Yen :wink: . Lee

What species has that been sent to you as Yen?

I have found this species to be quite simple to culture. At the lower stages (as younger nymhs) they are well suited to a communal setup. Keep them warm with a fairly low humidity and you should do well.

Cheers, you will see it becomes more useful over the next few weeks :D

Indeed i know where you are coming from. When referring to stages i use the term instar when trading or writing in general i tend to use the abbreviation 'L' If i were to use the abbreviation 'i' i am not certain that my point would be conveyed particularly well. I prefer the abbreviation 'L'...
