If you have ghosts, you have everything. 

Yen is the best. He communicates well, ships fast, has excellent prices and even gave me a couple extra nymphs. Thanks again!

Does anyone breed the Dragon Mantis species? I've always wanted to raise one or maybe even a pair. If anyone knows where to get one in the U.S. please let me know. I take extremely good care of my pets, so they would be well looked after. 

I've kept 3 L4s up to adults together in a 15 gal viv before. They don't move much so they kinda just chose a territory and kept to themselves. Just make sure you have plenty of food available and hand feed them if you feel like they aren't catching anything.

Yes that's my video and YouTube channel. You're more than welcome to post or use the video for whatever you'd like.
