So what is it you do for a living? I have been trying to figure out what I would like to do for the rest of my life and would to do something animals. Too much schooling to be vet. So I would like ideas. :?:

I believe my female is with child um I mean eggs. :lol: Hopefully I keep the eggs alive so they will hatch

Well these were not as tiny as normal but not medium sizze either, they had a week to grow a little.

Well she ate all the pinhead crickets I had in the container I brought her home in. I might as well explain how this all started, last week my son spent a couple days at my mom’s and he came across a very friendly mantis whom he fell in love with, he took the mantis to the market with him and...

Larry is pretty neat but he doesn't do much while we are awake, on occasion I'll catch him at night hopping around he always looks like a deer caught in headlights when i do. :lol:

I have one white's tree frog name Larry, 1 adult female european mantis named Porky, 1 chinese mantis nypmh on the way here. In a month or so I would like to try my hand at another leo gecko (we had 1 last year die only after a month). :)

Since I am new here I will inform you about me. I am 25 yrs old, have a 7 yr old son named Clive. My name is Breanna, I am engaged to be married to my long time main man,lol. This my pic, sorry so big I enjoy reading,cooking and anything that can hold my short attention span, I really enjoy...

25 here with a 7 yr old son.

Anyone heard anything bad or good about her? I ordered a chinese mantis from her. :?:

Well I will keep you guys updated if she gives birth, Rick you may have a baby or 2 for free since you would like some. BTW Porky is a mad crazy eater, I think she would eat and eat and eat if I allowed her to but I stopped her after 4 pinhead crickets, 2 meal worms and 2 nice size adult...

Well hopefully she is not preggers, if she is I will be on here selling some baby european mantis. Do they eat more if they are preggers( I know females eat more in general)? because she is ceratinly a little piggy (hence the name porky).

How long is there "pregnancy"? a month? If Porky has babies , do I seperate them from her right away?

Wow is this breeding season?

Could she be preggers now? :shock: :?:

Well if I come across another,which is very possible it seems they are every where this year, I will give a whirl. I can't mate 2 diff species of mantids,right?

But I would have to find 2 adolescent mantis, right? Porky is adult or so I assume? :?

Well I am really a newbie, I wouldn't know were to start and I am afraid they'll eat each other.

My son is only 7, this mantis thing started a week ago, with a mantis that my son lost at my mom's house, long story. Needless to say it is becoming a hobby or something like that. BTW Rick if I find another mantis, I'll send it to you. :wink:

Nope they will be "neighbors" in seperate homes. The baby is going to be my sons (I'll take care of it).

This is all so interesting for me, which is odd for me because I usually hate bugs but I am slowly changing my mind, Porky (my mantis) is amazing to watch hunt and she is kinda cute too. I have a baby chinese mantis on it's way too.
