    I mean statistically speaking, it's a fair assumption, although I admit there will be exceptions I'm pretty left-leaning, but there are some liberals who have a sense of entitlement and no sense of personal accountability I can't stand. I still believe people need to work for what they have, for...

    Ooth incubation?

    oh yea you'll probably want it to be at a higher humidity, but the temp is probably ok

    because on TOP of all of the "rock and roll mcdonald's", "don't be racist, I am a building", *random noises*, I'd also be like "*insert some god or prophet here* is my lord", which would probably annoy people even further :ROFLMAO::LOL:

    Ooth incubation?

    "the species" huh? people really need to get better at asking questions the number of times someone asks something like "my mantis hasn't molted in 3 weeks, is this normal?" boggles my mind! Please tell us A: the species B: your environmental parameters C: the *** and life stage of your mantis...

    Ooth incubation?

    well i'm glad you asked! light is bad for eggs. JK, but if there's a nonstop, 24 hour light overhead rather than a light with a regular cycle, you may run into some problem. What I'm saying is, don't leave a heat light on constantly! Animals need a day/night cycle to be healthy!

    I also love Criminal Minds! man they'll let kids these days read any book enough times for a degree in it won't they? 😝 kidding eh, this happens even in secular circles. I don't think my mother was a true believer in any gods but she definitely had issues with people taking psych meds, but if...

    I love letting them wriggle in my hands and slip between my fingers. IDK why but it's so soothing :)

    if you are doing a thesis-based master's I'd love to read it! I've only had 1 major career: research that's an interesting jump from ministry to mental health. I'm not religious so I don't know much about how ministry works but from watching Criminal Minds and various cult documentaries, I get...

    I think you'd love a few mini orchids or mini ferns in there. Pothos get quite large over time and you'll find yourself cutting it up constantly you're never too old to get a doctorate. OK maybe if you're like 90 you are ah, I didn't realize you could cut glass that easily! Who woulda thought?

    ISO beginner friendly mantises or ooths near tennessee

    ok 2 things 1: "near" and "far" are relative terms. I'm from New England, where "far" meant if I have to drive more than 20 minutes, it was a far away destination. In the south, some people are fine driving a day or 2 at a time, idk why? 2: probably because most of us are in the mode of heat...

    let's start a thread of mundane occurrences!

    to be fair, heat tape is meant to be used on metal pipes. that's what it's originally designed for. Plastic is pretty insulative compared to many materials, and with all of the air space in that cup, you're gonna have some issues let me do a simple demo. I suspect if I take a cup and make a...

    Hello from North Carolina! (I have a question)

    got any presub or sub males?

    New from Middle Tennessee

    so the reason I asked this is because these 2 things often times don't go hand-in-hand. Often, people make lovely terraria that are just too large for a captive mantis to hunt efficiently within, and the terraria often times get dirty and harm the mantis master's or PhD? how do you have time...

    Ooth incubation?

    I have some concerns 1: a heat lamp could get hot enough to melt that plastic, and melted plastic loves to catch fire! 2: That heat lamp (assuming it's a non-light emitting one, if it's one that does generate light as well we have another issue) may very well dry out your ooths 3: Most species...

    2 announcements!

    real quick IDK who this may affect but a few folks have been asking me about feeders and such I am battling a sinus infection and am just getting better, so I'm a little slow to actually work on stuff I need to get my roach bins filled with new egg crate and count them to see how many I can...

    Oddly Shaped Ghost Mantis Ooth

    if you got it January 25th, I'd assume it would be at least a week old, and these take 6-7 weeks to hatch, so it may be as late as March 15th before it hatches the color change isn't the best indicator of very much because it's a chemical reaction, not a biological one
