I think people jump to the freezer idea because at some point it becomes more about our wants and desires over the mantis. Quality of life plays into this. I don't own the bug so i can't speak for it, But I would rather freeze than to let suffer slowly. Again i am not saying this is the case...

Most of the time I buy crickets I get a few of those. cricket breeders love those beetles

Orchids and rhombos. I'll take some of each please. I'll pm you. Unicorns too....you are like a super center!

Ummm. Frog legs..... Eating from the front would be deadly.

All molted to L3 but one! . The bigger they get the better. I think I will setup a display case for a few of them. Frog. This will help you with the sexing. http://mantidforum.n...=1

I know someone who has some. But I will let them speak for themselves.

Google! What kind of info are you looking for?

i don’t mind bugs eating other bugs. but there is just something unsettling about bugs cannibalizing. For some reason I don’t get the same reaction with mantis though. I guess I am immune now!

crickets are nasty creatures. i believe they cannibalize almost as much as mantis. I would always open the container to find one nibbling on another.

At least he went out with a bang.

I bought a culture in a glass jar and I love it. The flys glide over the glass easier. Better control when feeding out.

I use regular light bulbs. I think they are 37 or some random number. As Tammy menctioned lights do tend to suck the humidity out of the air. I will have to look at seedling mats. Seems like a better soultion for incubating.

Nice bug you have there. I haven't figured out the album either.

I just watched your shed video. What are those tiny squiggles on the velvet?

I've seen some ground molts but all of them were standing. Has someone had a successful molt where the mantis was not standing?

Leave it for a while. They will crawl on the underside and stay. They quickly move to the nymphs!

Try putting a leaf on top of the springtails. After awhile they will start crawling on the leaf. Then just put the left the enclosure.

I just had a miss molt myself. Back legs got stuck together. Had to cut them apart. Mantis just molted and now has one healthy leg and about 3/4 of the other. I would be a long shot for this one to recover. Putting the mantis in a natural position doesn't sound like a bad idea. From the looks...

I haven't ordered yet. Trying to wait until the holiday rush is over but he has been answering all of my emails very quickly. CS has been great. Update! Placed an order and got a package! I freaked alittle when they didn't hatch and contacted chuck. He walked me through a few things and...

Merry Christmas!
