Well done. Allow me to motorize that for you. Robomantis.

Cool I love those lil guys. Wish I had a bigger tank. My local pet shops has a huge 100 gallon tank with 15 different kinds of dart frogs in there I'm jealous. Looks so awesome. Cool ball python pics too some of those look like some expensive pastel pythons.

Great footage. Yet another crazy mantis. I like the asexual reproduction idea. Like a mushroom spore! haha Cool antennae too. That's another neat one. nom nom nom eyeballs nom nom

I will get to the door sooner or later. For now I teleport the mantids inside. hehe. I actually have not used the cubes yet for more than a few minutes while cleaning mantid cages but will need them soon with all my Chinese and shields. They're all getting huge already. The mantids can grip the...

You will want to build two of these "cage corners". Go ahead and make the second one up now and lay them out as shown to make sure you have built the right objects like shown. Now take one of the cage corners, and attach another vertical dowel to it using the techniques outlined in the first...

Now, grab yourself another new dowel, line it up as shown and drill a 1/8th inch pilot hole through the first and into the second. Be careful to drill this hole slightly above the last hole you drilled, so you do not run into trouble when the bit hits your first screw. Study the picture...

OK noticed the cube was popular. Figured I'd do a step by step DIY tutorial. Here is how to build the cube. Next I will show how to install the screen. Note, this isn't for the faint of heart. Some mechanical assembly experience necessary or you might drill a finger off. ;) Let us begin by...

Cool video. :) You are very quick with your editing! I've been working on the same crappy footage video with my own music for weeks now lol

great pics!

Nice. Free mantises without ordering any. haha Looks like a male? He wanted to keep your other one company. :P

Well I have trouble counting segments on most of my mantids. I always count 7 lol :blink: This here female orchid I count five segments, which must mean she has 6 :lol: Fairly certain she's a female. I can't count segments very well though I think all my other mantids are he/she's...

Wow dude those ones are very cool. Great mandible shots. Those definitely are a very cool mantis. :punk: So many different cool mantises. I entered this hobby much too late.

I have a bunch of wild caught limbata females. They all seem to have a band in this area like you guys say. They also have purple at the base of the legs but no brown on the eye like yours. Let me know if you have an extra male or two. I love these mantises. I hope they are limbata I'd hate...

I don't know if this helps you or not.. But use an old fishing trick. The mantids will be where there is lots of readily available food for them and lots of the type of cover they like. The Limbatas we found in my grandmother's back yard were in an area with tons and tons of green metallic...

Here's one my mom sent me. How to catch your flies alive! (this is not me or anyone I know in the video, she just found this on youtube)

Well lost another Idolo last night. I think this one never quite recovered from shipping. The other three I have left look to be nice and strong so far. May have to try and order a couple more for backup. RIP little buddy Also think two of my ghosts are now subadult female. May have to...

Well I got the female for Either Laura or Mr Mantid. You guys will have to work out which one of you gets it. I just bought her an orchid flower yesterday now people want to buy her from me. I kinda told Laura she has first dibs already but if she doesn't need her than she can go to Mr Mantid...

In this picture you can see their hydroball layer. This is used as a reservoir to keep the live moss and substrate wet. I never really have to add more water, I just dump the dish water into the tank before replacing it and it keeps it up. You can also see the bromeliad plant a bit better and...

I borrowed this picture from Wikipedia to show you what they look like since I can't get a good enough picture while in front of their lighting. It's so weird how their middle rear toes are always tapping like a typewriter. I was told it is to attract prey.

Ok I should have started my own herp thread I guess instead of a bunch. Here's my little dart froggies. They are the Azureus blue and white and black ones. I can't get a good picture though. The only maintenance they require is a repti-sun 2.0 light bulb, melanogaster fruit flies and high...
