Welcome, glad to have you joining!

Welcome to the forum, you'll find lots of like-minded people here!

Hmm I can't see the videos.  The first one says "No video with supported format and MIME type found", and the second one seems to play but I can only see white.

Welcome!  I would love to see your high fantasy enclosure designs so please do share pictures.

Welcome to the forum, some great species you've kept there!

@mantisloverguy6000 Wow, that is insanely long.  Were they in good health most of that time? @PrayingMantisPets That's crazy, hopefully that isn't a sign of any health issues.  Or maybe just a child at heart, "I never want to grow up!"

Welcome to the forum!  I also don't really have anyone to share my hobby with here so the forum is a great place to do that.

Amazing pictures!  Would you consider embedding them in your post to make it easier for people to view them?  I think more people will get to enjoy them if you do that. :) You can do it by selecting the little arrow for each picture on Imgur > Get share links > BBCode (Forums).  If you...

Awesome picture, thanks for sharing!

Sorry for your loss, it sounds like Chili lived a long, happy life. :)

Wow amazing, and there's nothing like a surprise adult!  Nice pictures, and the mantids look awesome.

It is nice that the females can live so long, so that we can enjoy their company for quite a while. :)

I agree, that name sounds good to me.

Haha someone is hungry!

I just had a male ghost pass today at about 11 months old, including 5.5 months as an adult.  I've only raised ghosts this one time but it seems like 5.5 months as adult is a long time for a male.  The other male died after 2 months as adult. So I am wondering - what are everyone's longest...

It seems like 6 days would be a bit long for the young nymphs so taking them with you may be the safest, although perhaps a bit inconvenient.  Have fun though!

Congrats, having nymphs from a beloved mantis seems like a nice way to "keep her around". :)

It could be due to overeating or a bad feeder, in which case I would stop feeding for a day or two in the hopes that he stops throwing up and feels better.  Just make sure he's still getting liquids as needed.  If he starts throwing up again after a break from eating, maybe try a new batch of...

Males generally don't eat a lot as adults so that may be acceptable.  I'm not familiar with that species specifically though.  You could also try different prey, such as flies, to see if he shows more interest in that, or otherwise just keep trying once a day with a cricket.  Also if you notice...

Cute new arrivals, and make sure you share pictures of your display enclosures once finished!  I love seeing people's ideas.
