Hey I’m near Vancouver and I have 3 ooths that I’m trying to find home for! She was a lovely European Mantis that we caught outside. Are you close by??

Looking for someone near Vancouver BC, lower mainland  I have 3 ooths from my recently deceased European Mantis. I’d prefer to find someone local so not to have to deal with shipping issues. I’m a newbie so the easier the better.  They are being carefully stored in the fridge as of now. 

Is there anyone

That’s for the replies, I wasn’t really feeling ok with the spiders . I’ll make sure there aren’t any webs ?

Ok thanks for the info ? (I wish there was a Mantis emoji! Lol ?)

When might she be ready again? I don’t know how old she is as we only found her a month ago

She’s attached it to a leaf. I’ll attach another pic.  And right now she’s back in the leaves and really watching me. She’s not preparing to lay another one is she??

She did it ? lol I feel so happy. No idea if they are fertilized or not. Should I leave it in her enclosure? Shes happily munching on a cricket right now , her tummy shrunk so much!

I hope I haven’t disturbed her too much ?.  Earlier when I was looking for her I was shining the flashlight at her. I tiptoed over to have a peek a little while ago - without flashlight this time, and she doesn’t look finished. It’s been a couple hours. 

How long does it take them to finish laying the eggs? She’s been at it for quite awhile

She has been eating a ton. Until very recently actually , yesterday she didn’t want the cricket I tried to feed her. Her belly got pretty big. 

Twiggy Girl , our first ever Mantis and the one we found at the airport on some cargo, is currently laying an ooth in the leaves of her enclosure! I decided to have a look for her because I’ve noticed she seemed different lately, perhaps a little weak. She hasn’t looked as strong hanging from...

Thanks I’ve read conflicting info about it, how often / much should we be offering her food?

Twiggy girl has gotten enormous!! She eats everything we offer her, possibly due to her being wild and starving when we found her? Is she too big?? She ate a spider yesterday after having 3 or 4 days without. 

Ok she’s already eaten the two large ones lol I guess it’s ok. 

Lol I never thought about plastic containers but I only paid $10 for the tank. I’m really excited about the Ghost Mantids but where do I even start looking. I’m located in south west British Columbia near Vancouver 

That’s the biggest one. 

Hi my husband caught 6 spiders outside and he just put them all in Twiggy Girls cage ? is that safe?? They aren’t really big but is this putting her in danger of being taken by a spider?? I protested but husband insists. They are garden spiders so they aren’t venomous ..

Thanks for the replies, I'll find a couple outside :)

Ok great thanks for the replies :)   I'll feel better about taking her out of her enclosure now
