well I'm saying after a day or 2 try what i said if the mantis starts acting weird shy or not eating really

Something no one has talked about really and it might help some people out. I noticed just like my tarantula after a molt the mantids will sometimes get depressed and be scared shy or not eat the best way to get past it is to hold them more then normal and keep them warm and get them water and...

Well maybe try flavorless jello with the vitamins in powder form mixed in and then make it into small chunks thread string in it pop it into the freezer so it is a little more solid then dangle in front of mantis tada XD

He just molted and man he is one big L3 XD

Good thing it's one of the ones I keep in my room to watch constantly. XD It does not wanna move tho I just tried to nudge him so we will see.

Would a mantis start a molt lower then it can? Because this one looks like it's gonna start molting an inch from the bottom and it's an inch and a half big. : /

oh that was only a temp thing i have them in 32oz containers now

New one up :)

What stage are they?

Oh did not notice he still had in the container. then I go with what angel said for sure

I say that because I have seen a few of my Chinese out in the garden they are l1 and a good inch big and a few days ago I seen a jumping spider jump on one and get shaken off but a few minutes later the mantis stopped moving and died. :(

Maybe it got stung or bitten?

Ah Okay. thanks for the info guys :)

Okay so it got out but its legs look bent and does not seem to be using them can he die from this?

it seems to be dragging the molt with him.
