    Keeping Mantids

    It's hard for me to say really, was raised as a kid surrounded by various animals including mantids and other insects, it just took from there. I suppose 'my own' rather than my families, started when I was selling some snakes at a meeting and somebody offered me some Hymenopus in exchange...

    banned

    Accidents happen without a reason... It's not a case of seeing someones ip and banning it, sometimes a simple right click, ban and an 'ooops' will occur. Tried contacting anyone from the actual chat site dakota? Dave

    banned

    A host ban can be made to stop only yourself entering a chat room rather than all on the isp. One thing, if you were rapidly logging in and out of the various chat rooms, maybe just to check how many people were in there, it can also result in a ban. Other than that, it can really only be put...

    Begging for mantis

    It's ok to ask for them, it's ok to ask anything after all, asking for a bargain is ok in my opinion... It's not ok however, to act like a gimp when you don't get what you want though :wink: I like the votes that say it's ok at a particular time... Perhaps people are more generous on those...

    ghosts almost mating + pics

    I had a PW ooth laid on the enclosure lid to the point that removing it would destroy it, so I left it be and it hatched without problems. Dave

    Atlas moths anyone?

    Can anybody recommend some good suppliers, preferably suppliers of ova but cocoons are good to. I'm in the UK so somewhere that can ship here would be good. I've found a few but i'm looking for a wide range of possibilities first, building quite a large setup to keep these guys in. Cheers for...

    How long

    There's also always the chance they may mate whilst lights out and you're not there... May have already done so but he still wants to try his luck (seems quite common with my aeruginosas). Either way, it's down to you if you want to seperate them or not, i've left mantids together with no...

    my fish tank set up

    Marine tanks are always a minimum 10mm glass anyway, no probs there and their reputation is like that of the bull-terrier dogs, because a few have, not all do :) The most common cause of glass-punching is seeing their reflection and considering it a rival (I'm like it every morning myself...

    my fish tank set up

    Nice setup there... Keep various tropicals and marines myself and have a side tank for a couple of mantis shrimps that managed to sneak in on un-treated live rock. I can't understand why so many people dread them, very easy to keep in a small setup, even a 2ft mini reef would be great for...

    Atlas moths anyone?

    Thanks for all the info everyone, i've been looking at various suppliers and can soon see the moth collection becoming equal to the other various creatures in number... :)
