Hey, Asa :) My M. religiosa still got stubby legs and to top it off she failed her wing molt and needed her wings snipped. She's gettin' along fine though, just the same, fat and happy...thanks for all your help :) As to buddhism, you might enjoy this link...

Hey everyone :) The Mantis religiosa that failed her last molt has molted again only 12 days later ( Good thing I hadn't wasted any time putting her in a larger tank,huh? ;) ) Last molt, her legs were stuck from the midjoint down and badly warped, so I snipped them both. That molt showed...

Well...I looked and it looks to me like she does have wing buds :( Well...maybe if I feed her a lot......we'll just hope for the best, I guess. After all, she's not going to have any trouble getting around. She's not having any trouble getting around now, for that matter LOL Thanks Asa :)

She was maybe half an inch when I got her and this is her second molt since then. I think earlier I had said 'several' molts, but it's only been one and now this failed one. ( Everything is molting here this month. Just 2 since I've had her. I don't know offhand but I'm gonna say I've had her...

Oh dear...Oh, well, she's not needing to run down prey or outrun predators. 'Subadult' is a term I used rather loosely, considering how little I know. I just had her out and measured her very carefully. Full head and body length is 1.75 inches. ( 4.5 cm ) What do you think? Thanks again for...

Snipping was definitely in order I'm afraid, the legs were too deformed to hang properly. Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate all the help I can get :)

Thanks Asa...The mantis has been snipped. I gave her 36 hours to continue hardening up ( she was still quite pale when I posted) and I've just fed her a small cricket, taken readily. She hangs much better withoutthe deformed legs and appears to be doing well :) I wonder how many molts it may...

Hey everyone :) I've got a subadult Mantis religiosa that wandered in a few weeks ago as a tiny nymph. It has molted without incident several times. Today, when I got home from work, it had molted again...tremendous size increase, and both back legs still encased in the old cuticle for...
