I find that my mantis like to get the deed done after lights out.Try leaving them together overnight with plenty of food in a large net cage and see what happens :)

Howdy, A couple of weeks back I purchased a small colony of Turkistan roaches. They are eating and shedding well. My main question is this: The egg sacks, what do they look like when roaches have hatched from them? I assume that they hatch along the zipper like edge? Some seem to have...

I would guess at: Sphodromantis lineola (African lined Mantis)

Not to far from shedding either I would say, you can see the beginning of her ladyparts :whistling:

The Mexican Roach! :P

I did assume that it was a short period, will feed up and re-pair later this week :)

Over the past year Ive had a couple of my Female mantis end up eggbound and never laying an ooth. These include a Hymenopus Coronatus(Orchid Mantis), a Hierodula Parviceps(Marbled mantis) and most recently a Pseudoharpax virescens(Gambian spotted) out of the total amount of females I have I...

Howdy, I paired up my first set of mature Adults today. The male jumped aboard so I added a couple of flies to the enclosure to keep the female busy as she is ALWAYS hungry. I left them to it and about 45minutes later I see that they are not coupled anymore. Is this a normal length of time or...

Sporeworld, that really made me giggle fairplay. I dont think theres many other places/people around that would understand how a frozen fly could solve an emergency lol :)

Both ooths are sold, hopefully should have more pretty soon. Please lock this thread though :) Thanks Andrew

Howdy, I have two Ghost Mants ooths for sale. Both ooths come from my own stock that have been mated 'inhouse' as it were. The females that have laid the ooths have both been proven fertile with their previous ooths hatching well. I am looking for £20 each ooth which includes 1stClass signed...

theyll more than likely take the whole beetle with head still attached. My whallis loved um. I always figured that because the worms were fine the beetles would be as well :)

Ive seen a lot of Nymphs walk this way :)

I need this mantis in my life!

How about the one bottom right of post 6 as well? I mightve had a slight typo haha :P

What Mantis that, bottom right of post 5? Thats some serious hotness right there!

One of my females got injured during mating and produced smaller blob ooths like the ones your describing, I kept them and incubated them anyways and a few days back they hatched. I only got 2-3 Nymphs from each but it proved she was fertile. Luckily for me it doesnt seem that her injury is...

It does sound she is close buddy, trying keeping her enclosure more humid than normal to keep those brittle old limbs hydrated as much as you can. If you can offer a little more heat it could make her Journey a little easier. Or you can always dispatch her if you feel its to harsh on her :(
