Yep, you're quite - sorry, my bad. I've relisted her in Classifieds at a lower price: http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29216

Our little lady is now sold to a nice chap from S.Wales - thanks for all the interest. (How do I close/delete this post? I couldn't reply...)

Bump!

Bump! Open to offers...

@agentA Ah bum - c'est la vie.

BUMP! @agentA - we're open to offers :)

Hello all - putting our female crestie up for sale, even though we'll miss her! She weighs 1.9 oz / 53g and is approx. 8 years old. She has a lovely demeanour and is very comfortable with being handled. We purchased her...

Hi, I am after 5x Phyllocrania paradoxa (Ghost mantis) if anyone has any for sale please? Ideally 1st/2nd instar. I'm based in Bristol, UK so after a UK-based breeder ideally. Let me know, thank you. Keir UPDATE: I can't seem to be able to reply to this topic, so not sure if others are...

Thanks GM - I found a good UK supplier in the end, thelivefoodwarehouse.co.uk

It'll be the ooth that will be the trial run - I've had nymphs many times before. I'm excited about the prospect of hatching my own though! But you're quite right this, and the other mantis forums, are invaluable - all you guys are so knowledgeable! Thanks for the good luck wishes. Will update...

Thanks for your reply, Patrick. From speaking to breeders, decided to purchase some nymphs *and* an ootheca as I think you're right - until I have breeding pairs, it'd be worth learning how to look after an ootheca successfully. Will let you all know how it goes!

Aaaanybooody? :) *tumbleweed* I've had some replies from folks overseas (thanks guys) but still wondering if any folks in the UK are breeding? Keir

Hey all, just bumping my topic - please do get in touch if you know are or know of any Ghost breeders! :)

Hello all, I'm trying to find breeders of Ghosts in the UK. Interested to know: - Quantities available (and when - I know some ooths have due dates :) - Instar/s available (the younger the better, whilst be old enough to safely post) - Costs/bulk discounts if any That said, if there are...

Too true.

She is the only wide-arm I have - I also have a miomantis and several ghosts but they all seem fine. Do you not think her wing buds look slightly swollen in the photo? I have popped her in the freezer as I don't want her to suffer. Thanks for the responses everyone.

Hello - thanks for the reply. Another friend of mine said the following: Her faeces have been dry and I do think she was due a moult. I'm afraid I'm inclined to pop her in the freezer - I hate to see her suffering like this.

My wide-armed has also become very ill. She's nearly fully mature - I'd say one or two moults to adulthood (and wings). I have been feeding her on silent brown crickets so this could be the problem but she's done well on them up until now. Moisture or infection could be the other potential...

Ah-ha! Thanks Rick.
