Thanks! I find them around my house every once in a while in the fall, so will need to keep an eye out for any ooth sacs. She is quite the beauty!

Found this plump gal hanging around my back door today, offered her a cricket for a snack.

Gorgeous! I love the look of this species.

I use both; the warm mist humidifier in the winter and the cool mist ultrasonic in the summer. I don't have a mantis yet, but the ultrasonic hasn't appeared to bother our snake, geckos or crickets and we have been using it for 2 summers now in the critter room.

I hope I'm not allergic the mantids, guess we will find out soon. When my allergist tested me this past year he tested me for crickets and roaches because he knew I had geckos. I haven't been around a roach yet, so don't know what type of reaction (if any) I might have; but I do have surgical...

Got it.....become one with the flies and leave the roaches/crickets to the calcium sniffing geckos hunters of the world. Don't want to become one of the shut-ins who's disfigured and can't write anymore. Thanks for the clarification and Happy New Year. It starting to feel like 'year of the fly...

We currently keep crickets for our geckos and was thinking about doing a roach colony since geckos seem to :wub: them. (I'm allergic to roaches, so precaution will be taken on where/how they are housed.) Will also be doing culture of FF/flies for the mantises I do get here in the near future...

Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats, What a rush to end the year on!

He's probably dehydrated also, you could give him a sauna for 10-15 minutes once or twice a day for at least a week. Regarding food; You can also try smashed up banana or even add a little bit of honey to the banana and see if ge will eat. If you have any butterworns, you can try those as well.

Cello, though I'm not really that good...more practicing would probable help.

Awesome photos Deb, she is gorgeous!

She is gorgeous!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Very nice set-up, thanks for sharing.

That is awesome looking, thanks for sharing!

Looks great! My husband was think about using the Nano for when we get our Mantis....now that I see your set-up, I think this is the route we will go for the enclosure. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! What's funny is that Vesper didn't look anything like that until she was around 15 grams and then it was like overnight that her color changed. This coming year will be her first breeding season so we are extremely excited to see what her little ones look like. Vesper @ 8 grams

Thanks for sharing! My view was of 4" of snow coming down :angry:

Thanks! I've been reading through the post on here for a liitle over a month now educating myself...extremely helpful! We've learned from keeping geckos that about 90% of the caresheet info on the web is way off and if you want correct care info then seek out a forum with tons of experienced...
