    L-2 Ghosts together

    i think that's a bit too much for comfort. since i know they love hanging from things (high elevation preferably). I usually leave a good 1-2 inches of free space between the lid and the plants on the bottom. I try to include a long of perching places too!

    Housefly vs Bluebottle Flies

    My creo's and ghost refuse to eat their hydei, but they seem perfectly capable of catching them, but I've fed them bluebottles/houseflies I've caught. So, I've decided it's time to move on up! What's the difficulty in houseflies vs blue bottles? (I've heard that one smells more than the other)...

    Fading Pigmentation

    Hia! I have two Creobroter Pictipennis, one at L4 (A) the other at L5 ( B) . Now, when A and B were both L4, A was really yellow and B started fading. Now, after molting, that yellow pigmentation is fading, and it's fading quickly. Is this normal, or is there anything I can do to assist in...

    Big questions out to everyone!

    I'm a bit a new to the hobby, so I'd like to start a discussion. Many of you have more than likely been at this for a good time now, and racked up some great experience. A while back, the mantis hobby was not as popular as it is now. Because of that: 1. How has he hobby changed? 2. What may...

    help please! ghost mantis.

    Can anyone give me a scientifc approach to this? I didn't molt incorrectly, it seems like the leg didnt grow at all! Why didn't that part grow, I dont think that can be contributed to the humidity levels?

    help please! ghost mantis.

    It's molting as we speak from l3 to l4. It seems to be going well, but one leg is discolored ( a white) and is small and does not have the leaf like protrusions that usually result, like the other 5 legs. Is it normal for a leg to be different? Generally not, but has this ever happened to...
