    Are water crystals safe?

    Oh, OK I've been a little confused. Some people tell me they need 30-40 percent but others say they need 60-80 percent. I found a lamp that keeps the enclosure at about 90 degrees, so temp. will not be a problem. Some people tell me that they will need a very complicated setup and are hard to...

    Are water crystals safe?

    I might need to raise the humidity in my violin enclosure. Will a dish of water crystals help raise humidity? Are these safe? :)

    mantid info wanted

    Thanks bassist, I'll do that in the future. :) For now I think the pupa will be my best shot. I should be getting the violins on Tuesday. That means I will need the flies right away.

    mantid info wanted

    I'm sorry if I offended you PhilinYuma. :unsure: I knew that crickets could cause problems but I did not know that roaches could. I thought the only reason why they wouldn't take roaches was because they didn't fly. :( I'm going to order some pupa from mantisplace.com How many would I...

    FS/FT: Madagascar hissing cockroaches

    Yes, the price is for sexed adults. (I prefer trades for mantids though) I started with a small colony (2.5.0) a little less than a year ago and now I'm up to 250+! (That's with feeding off some of the nymphs) I think that the adults are too large for most mantids but the nymphs worked great...

    Heat lamps

    I'm planning on buying a heat lamp for some violin mantids that I'm getting after the holidays. What kind would you recommend? Does the color of the bulb matter? I'm going to be keeping them in ten gallon aquariums. I hope I put this in the right place. Thanks :)
