well in the mean time theres some prints available to put on your walls while you wait for the space to become available? I have a couple sitting next to me now, they're looking good :) Though I've probably spent any profits I would have made decorating my own walls. Oops

well whatever the reasons I consider myself lucky, as hopefully I can remate them after she has laid a couple of ooths. As soon as they're laid they'll be up for sale on my site if you really are interested :)

I have a male and female budwing mantis who I mated last night. I was waiting up until they seperated so I could put the male back to a safe place but it got too late so I just put them both back in the tank and hoped for the best. Now I know budwing mantids have a reputation for being very...

thanks for all the good comments :) regarding my UK bias, would someone who lives in the US please email me and let me know which sites/places you get your mantidsa and live food from. I know i can quite easily find some myself, but I only want ones that have been recommended; ones that are good

I went there hiking once, my god that makes me feel old!

where abouts are you from?

No need to be jealous, theres nothing to say anything you think should be put there wont be. Also at the moment as someone pointed out to me the site is very UK biased. I wanted to find someone in the US (and other parts of the world for that matter) who has had experience with difference...

Over the last few months I've noticed alot of people who are getting into Mantids asking alot of questions here. I know it can be frustrating for people that have been here for some time, but its easy to forget just how little information there is out there. I've started a website, partly...

recieved some ghost mantids and a dead leaf mantis of martin, they were packed perfectly. One ghost had a mis molt during transit which martin said he'd replace for me. Will definately buy from him again

the space thing is a fair point. I've been looking into it some more and decided to keep them together until I can accurately distinguish the sex's and then seperate them into two smaller tanks. I think upwards is defaintely the way to go in this case :) Cheers

Space wouldnt usually be an issue for me but I am currently at university and needless to say halls are never very big on shelf space, or any type of space for that matter. Out of curiosity, why use a vertical one rather than a horizntal one? I would have assumed the opposite, in fact this...

im currently working on a website with pictures to illustrate everything as I go along. hopefully in a few days i'll have all the basic pages filled. I was going to ask people here to read it and anything that they directly disagree with, or feel they can add i'd love to hear from them. I'm...

Space is a big issue for me. Alot of people have successfully kept these together without even having to seperate male and females though. I was just wondering if any special care was required when shedding. i.e. when you think they're about to shed do you have to seperate them and then regroup...

Hi, I've kept mantids for a fair while myself but never communally before. I have 4 nymph ghosts on the way from mr French and I intend to keep them all together. The only prroblem I have is that I was wondering how they shed they're skins safely. I know it may sound silly, but even mantids from...

Well for example if whilst he was trying to mate them he stopped feeding them, which in itself is entirely plausable, the female may simply have gotten hungry. I know that when my females come round to ooth laying time they eat at least double what i normally give them

were you still feeding them both crickets during the period you were trying to mate them?

Received two african nymphs today, best packing I have ever seen!Both lively and healthy, cheers :D

They wouldnt survive outside here. I put my last one that died outside

Have you had any losses with Ghost Mantis at all? Losses as in canabalism

why thank you :)
