In the picture it looks totally round I guess from the reflection at the top of tank. A half  moon shape would fit shelving better and still looks awesome. Thanks for the link not a bad price at all. 

Is that a Marina 360 Aquarium with daytime white and night time blue LEDs? Can the lights be dimed? What kind of venting does the top have? I have a different brand 360 view that I had to screen in the hood before it could be used for my mantids. I have been contiplating getting a new 360...

I am glad someone got the miamantis binotatas  from Mantis Monarch and is trying to breed them. I was contiplating getting them but have my hands full with ghost project. I still have  miamantis that that I received from Mantis Monarch which  grew into mature male that is still kicking around...

I fed my female pretty heavy for 3 days by the fourth day she was really plump. Started warming enclosure and a slight misting female first thing and fed her 4th day and  introduced the males about 6:00am in the morning. Continued warming enclosure and misted  a couple times. One of the males...

Great choices.one of my favorite avicularia versicolor. I am glad you you got a avic. I have never found them hard to raise just make sure you have cross ventilation moist stale air kills them. b. boehmei just wait for the adult colors to start showing. There are several brachypelma  species on...

I removed my male before my female laid her ooth. She was reaching around to grab the male and I only had the one male so I had to separate them. I am just learning myself first time breeding mantids. This is what Kermit had to say about introducing them. His male jumped off on his own but...

DeShawn helped me out with some male ghost mantids.since my male couldn't breed he sent me a few of his. They arrived in great condition. Packaged great heat pack still warm. great transaction. When I releized my male wasn't going to be able to breed I got really discouraged. DeShawn offered me...

Thanks. Again looks great with fall colors. I think it suits the ghost mantids better than all green.

Where did you get the fall colored leeves? Most of our store around only carry green vines and leeves. I made a mistake and glued most of my real vines to enclosure so now to separate ooths I have to cut my vines. Not a big deal to cut the vines but I should have forseen the issue. Learning...

Are those fake leaves and vines? I like your set up .

Thanks for helping me out. I need my female to atleast produce one fertile ooth and I will be a happy camper.

Well 6 days since last in fertile ooth been feeding female heavy  misted added heat  and will leave my male in with her tonight. My male is worse shape than I thought after examination he only has toes or his claws on two legs one front and one back. He really can't climb hardly any thing he...

Pro \ no urticating hairs  Con \no urticating hair  they seem more flighty and more likely to stand and fight if cornered. I like new and old worlds but as of right now all of mine are NW. The only cheap old world I have found is a OBT. When I get my financials back in order I will have a...

I know this is why I have to succeed at getting ootheca full of them.

Most people use coco fiber but some spiders don't seem to want to burrow in it as well. I usually mix coco fiber  with peat  80\20 mix Peat being 80 percent best. Most spiders will escape to there burrow when spooked except some old worlds. So you need the spider to burrow as soon as possible.

B. Boehmei good choice . I can't recommend a exact enclosure but this specie's I would go with 3 to 4 inches of substrate in a enclosure and water dish and something for a hide even if it's just a large fake leaf. I like using peat for substrate sometimes I mix in eco earth. Keep substrate dry...

My female was Green and turned light tan her last molt. I guess it's tuff being a male mantid.My guy is so banged up there is no way he could climb fast enough to sneak up on the female he doesn't seem to realize he lost the tip of his front leg he keeps trying to use it and keeps falling. Heat...
