Just lost my last B. Mendica male in his adult Molt? My surviving beautiful girl turned adult just the other day and I really want to keep the species going. If you have a sub or fresh adult male we should figure something out! PM me! ?

Ugh... Extra stress for that species, huh! Sorry for your lost. They take so long to rear.

Kirsten,  This is an experience that mantis hobbiest  have had happen many times. It tugs on your heart but it's one of the mistakes that we learn from in our quest to master raising these incredible creatures ? Putting an access hole in the side of your cup or enclosure then cutting a sponge...

Great ideas on the digital hydrometer $9, and the quaint little green house $20! Great prices too....

This is a Gongy but you can see how the top and sides are covered.? http://

Sorry for your recent mishaps ? I use the cheap hamper / laundry basket fabric and have almost completely eliminated mis molts!  Target has them cheap. I cut the four sides separate from the basket, keeping the spring wire in tact. I arch a piece inside of the net cube and bend the corners so...

I have a room humidifier but only run it in winter and early spring. You can get a plastic covered shelving unit to really focus on humidity for a reasonable price. Check Amazon. They are made for plants etc like a green house effect. As far as monitoring humidity, I have a half dozen of the...

32oz are way too small for these guys. They need space, like net cubes but later instar Molts require sticks or course fabric otherwise they can't properly "flip" from the cube fabric... Dane with Brunners and gongys. I only mist their face and infrequently at that. My experience with misting...

Highly recommend a laser temperature gun... Home Depot $29. Temps vary tremendously from bottom to top. Regular thermometers take time to adjust if moved the temp gun gives you right now temps and IMO a critical tool for this hobby. Even FF cultures can be checked. Too cool they won't thrive...

If she's pregnant she needs to have a full ootheca so that means FEED her.

So focus on Sticks! Thin and thick, plus keep well fed

Don't spray directly... Especially close to a Molt. The eucho likes humidity but they can struggle getting out of a Molt if conditions aren't right.

Food should be primarily flying pray. Higher on the humidity. Important to focus in on the molting surface; add course fabric to the top and sides. Provide room to move about... More the better.

SOLD FreshAdult males only. Only males available. Serious interest only. PM me.

I know this may be controversial but I I have found that misting a mantis directly within a day or so of their molt will cause issues. It changes the consistency of their skin and leads to a higher propensity for mismolts. Of course molting surface is very important consideration but even when...

My adults just laid 2 more ooths!  If anyone is interested PM me. @Connor looks like you will need to do a slight dispose. Being in So Cal I have to do this as well, but look up monthly temperature highs and lows for anywhere around Alabama to North Florida on Google and plan to match those...
