    Osama Bin Laden is Dead?

    I think killing children can never truly be justified. . . . But you've been through a lot. I won't ream you out or anything. I also don't think Osama is a coward but I wouldn't say he or his men are brave either. They think when they die they get a bunch of virgins and glory in the afterlife...

    My Tenodera sinensis Enclosure

    Nice set up! But how will you house so many nymphs if they aren't communal? don't 300 hatch out of it?

    Alice - Gongylus gongylodes

    I screwed up with my first ooth with humidity, and as a result only have ONE of my nymphs left. My little one is so precious! I wish he had some friends though :( And how many times has Alice molted?

    Violin Mismolt

    One of my violin nymphs molted today , and is now L2 or L3. when I went to check on him , I thought he was dead. Just this very pale , unmoving mantis on his side looking terrible. After further examination I saw it's head turn to look at me. I was shocked at it being alive. Basically two of...

    My babies just wont eat!

    My Violin love pinheads! Have you tried the pinheads? Also what's your enclosure like? I found out that I could actually save the life of a mantis if the enclosure is better for feeding. Pinheads are so tiny that it's difficult to spot and catch them in plantation soil, and they just hide...

    Mantids confiscated?

    Interesting point however I would point out that dealing mantids is miniscule in comparison to dealing crack. It's the pet stores responsibility to sell what's legal and even if they don't I would receive no penalty , given petland is pretty established and has permits. I reckon they'd be the...
