Hey all, My lone Male Ghost recently had a slight accident and now I don't think Ill be able to pair him with my females. In short im looking to trade 1or2 Fully adult female Ghosties for 1or2 Adult Male Ghosties The Two females that are up for trade have only just matured and haven't laid...

@Massa - Thanks for the advice but I dont think my first post was clear enough :P The ooths are already in smaller hatching containers which are well ventilated and are great for humidity. my aim with the fishtank is to be able to put these smaller containers into it so that they are kept at a...

Howdy all, Im in the process of making an incubation chamber for my ooths so i can keep them at a constant temperature. So far Ive got an old fish tank,heat mat and thermostat and a humidity gauge. Note: The ooths are already kept in smaller containers im looking at a larger chamber to keep...

I recently purchased an ooth from Frey and it arrived looking healthy, a few days later it hatched over 25+babies Thanks Frey

Gotta love the work on sticking the netting around the curve on the oustide. Its a bloody nightmare I know that much hehe :) I couldnt live without my dremel. Use the small attachments to make really small holes as well :)

Has anyone any experience of keeping these? Ive looked around and havnt found much of a caresheet for them. Any help or tips appreciated Cheers :)

Hmmmm... On the back of the enclosure(outside) you could always paint some funky Chinese symbols in reverse so when you look at it from the front it adds to the overall theme :P

Another multicolor ooth avaliable :)

I might be wrong but im pretty sure your old Mantis was a girl,Its pretty rare to have a Male Mantis stay on one plant and never fly :) Foam plugs are sometimes used in the die of containers to plug feeding holes, increase humidity Glue guns are often used to stick stuff in the Mantis...

The crickets you find in your local Pets at home are a no-no for sure, They are often kept in cruddy conditions that mean they pass bad things onto the Mantis and end up killing them. Raising maggots into Flies is quite possible the easiest thing ever. Get some from your bait shop, put some...

Try your local fishing shop buddy, Squats are houseflies or you can get Greenbottles and Bluebottles as well. :) If not there are a couple of online baitshops in the UK that will deliver to your door: Heres one for bluebottles: http://www.wormsdirectuk.co.uk/acatalog/maggots.html You could...

The female is un-mated. Yes they do breed by parthenogenesis but there is a theory that fertility declines over generations, something I havnt witnessed myself as I have always had very good hatch rates.

Your like the old A-Team tv show... putting together anything and everything and turning it into a pitchfork wielding,flame throwing monster tractor... or in this case a Mantis home!
