well once again bought some large mantis from daniel, and this has to be quickest to arrive yet!! sent on the monday and arrived today being wednesday!! ive had longer shipping times for mantids in the uk! all alive and healthy, and settling in well. thank you once again daniel.

Hi i would have to aggree with every one else on this subject. i bought half a doven mantis from him about 3/4 weeks ago all arived very healthy, nice and fat, sent out on a monday and arrive on the thursday the same week. paid for 3 large pairs and he sent a free pair of virescen aswell. 3...

if you could take a pic would be helpful, just m looking at buying a load of the lids with alu mesh and they fit the 32oz but want to know they are the right size before i purchase them.

only thing ive noticed with the light or dark is that the wrigglers dont climb as high up the sides of the container if kept near a light source. might just be me, but there we go.

Once again i have ordered a couple more mantids from daniel (1 L6 male & 1 L7 male giant asian) they were sent out on monday and have arrived safe and very well on the thursday afternoon. thanks very much. also a bit of an update on the ooths i had a lil while back, 1 paradoxa has hatched...

Mj what size cup do the lids fit? (i know they say 32oz but im used to pint or 1/2pint size plastic cups) would they fit your average cheapie 20 for £1 ish pint cups? or are they more the polystyrene tea / coffee cups you get from say a burger van, type size?

Sorry but gonna bump this.. would also be interested in a male on a breeding loan in exchange for ooth once mated. once again pm if you have a male or interested in loaning me one. cheers.

cheapest ive seen recently is around £3.00 ($6.00 ish) which is not bad as comes with loads of glue sticks, stand and cleaning tool. will go out and get one over next few days, as wish id done it before now, but we learn by our mistakes i guess.

thing to bear in mind is the average lifespan of a chinese is only around 0.5 of a year (5-6months tops). mine hatched about 2-3weeks before mj's and mine are already around L6 and due to shed again anytime. they would usualy hatch late spring early summer (may/june), they need to grow, become...

as title says im in need of a male Hierodula membranacea as sadly lost "Bob" my male today, so now looking for another mate for gurtrude who is around L7 (shed about 2 days ago) so i can hopefully continue with this species. if you have anything available prefer in europe to the uk, please...

used to have one when i used to keep mantis before but broke a while ago and been meaning to get another, but def going to buy another now this has happened. silly thing is a glue gun only costs about 2 or 3 times the cost of a roll dst, but was only thing in house i could use at time and didnt...

came in this afternoon to find my friend looking like he had, had a bad shed and looked realy crooked and hunched up. on closer inspection of container i saw that he hadnt shed but a small strip of double sided tape that was holding some material in place had become exposed and he was stuck to...

Thought id start a thread for Richard as he sent me 3 healthy looking ooths to me that arrived saturday. he was willing to send the ooths to me before i paid for them as asked for payment in cash, where as most of my overseas purchases are done by paypal as sending cash is always a little...
