No idea but maybe look up where they are from and try to mimic those conditions, like temperature highs and lows of the days and nights and humidity of that area.

Does anyone have any subadult or even recently molted to adult Female Panther mantises, Tarachodula pantherina, available? I have a few subadult males but no females. PM me if you have any available! Thanks!

Ok, great! Thanks! It would be for red runners.

Hey I was wondering has anyone tried Cork Bark with any success in roach colonies? As opposed to cardboard egg crates? Would it be detrimental at all to roaches? Say if they ate it and its not good for them? Has anyone here tried to use cork bark with roaches before?

I keep my Red Runner roaches (Turkestan roaches) in a tall plastic container with egg crates for surfaces to climb on. I sometimes put some coconut fiber as a substrate. They are kept at room temperature and doing very well. I also have two bowls in the enclosure where I put their food so its...

I traded with Hierodula and everything was very well packed and the mantises arrived in good condition. And I even got replacements when one mantis died. He was very informative and answered my questions quickly. Definitely recommend! Very good place to get some interesting and fun mantises.

Lol. Well I would definitely only get one or two for a special mantis only.

Hey has anyone kept mantises in the Zilla Micro habitat? I just saw it and it looks like an interesting habitat but don't know if it is good for mantises. Does it have holes that fruit flies would escape from? How does it open? I can't tell if it has a door or it just slides open or something...

Aw very sorry to hear you lost Cardamon and Cinnamon. Sounds like they were good mantises. R.I.P. your two ghosts. May they also have all the flies and tasty prey they want in the next life!

Wow that's impressive! They must have been in great care.

Very sorry for your loss. I did not know him but he sounds like an amazing person! And I know he will be sorely missed by everyone who was blessed enough to know him. I will keep Joe's family in my prayers. And take comfort in the fact that he is now in Heaven with Jesus!

I am going to try and sell at least two already mated Female Grizzled mantises for the purpose of someone else also breeding them and keeping the line going. And to get more Grizzled mantises out there in the hobby. This sale is only for advanced hobbyists and or breeders, as Grizzled mantises...

LOL that's super funny! Food frenzy!

Thanks!

I did say in MOST cases there. Yes of course there is the fact of nutrition and such that might shorten lifespan. But in general animals kept in captivity do tend to live longer then animals in the wild. Regardless my mantis had a nice life. This is not meant to be a post about how people care...

Yes from the date she hatched until she died. And yes captivity does allow mantises to live far longer then they would in the wild in most cases. Since there are no predators and also no weather such as cold or rain. There are also certain diseases and parasites that they might encounter in the...
