So you'll understand why I make my inquiries with mantis collectors like yourselves ;) I don't see any point in making the government aware of my mantids by asking them questions. how do they know to check the packages though? IS there random searches if the packages are certain sizes?

way smaller then the female by the looks of it. The female mega mantis is the biggest mantis there is that breeders have ever had right?

this thread in no way states or implies me having illegal mantids. The two I do have are egyptian , and my query's were in regards to HOW someone would even know you have them. Rick if you would like an example, then I will tell you that I just recently read about someones mail containing...

Unfortunately Rick, when I was taking some dead cricket remains out of godfreys cage he crawled out. As usual, I put my finger in front of him and waited for him to reach out. Instead, after a few seconds, he just flew off. I saw him fly into the bedroom and pursued immediately , but have had no...

nope. I have been very clear. Just the egyptian mio's have been in stock. I wish I knew where to look for the written law about it , I tried some sites but no luck ... :(

hey guys. I mated my two egyptians and It's been a little more then a week since. Do I need to mate them again , or is once fine? When Can I be expecting her to lay eggs?

if you don't know if it's a subadult just look at the wings. They shouldn't be fully developed , but there should be small wingbuds.

try the pinheads :D

beast

have you tried the pinheads?

can't you separate them before she does any damage? or did she do this when you weren't looking?

If I get a hold of some, I will breed them until Im old and grey , just to be sure there will always be some of them around :D

I've been reading a good few posts and discussions about the feds getting search warrants and confiscating mantids. I'm just wondering, how would they know?? Are most of the people on the forum breeders that advertise exotic species? How could they even find out about your pets ? Sorry if I...

Of course rick. Though the fact of the matter remains. Why sell egyptians and no others? I'm going to have to " bug " them about this one for sure , it just doesn't make sense.

Fantastic site! Fresh, green , all about mantids! Though I can't buy your mantids , I will purchase your products at some point. ( the net cage looks promising ) Good luck!

Would a 24 gallon tank be big enough for 5 or 6 ghosts?

Petland is a well trusted company , and combining a few other stores , getting this in writing is unnecessary. All I know is that here, it's only egyptians . . . Trust me, this makes no more sense to me then it does to you

so males + females = cannibalism If I am to have a communal set up , I should just make it a "male community " ? what about females and females together?

yep! Man they have to be the greatest looking mantids around once they reach adulthood!

alright. but I already have a very nice setup for the two , so I won't put them together until I receive some more mantids , or at least put them together once I need room for the others :P what has been your favorite communal species so far?
