    ~Ways of telling if an ooth is infertile.~

    Fertile ooths arent always heavy feeling either, they can dry out in shipment as well as be darker or lighter for it. Unless otherwise clearly hatched, or damaged badly I usually keep them all cupped up and just wait out an approriate time frame. Im unsure why you would suggest to rush finding...

    Transplanting Heads?!

    Recent hatched today have left me with some stock to experiment with.........who wants some duncata and tressicata nymphs? Im going to carefully scapal off their heads, gently set them on the others body and run a bead of gorrila superglue around the neck to seal it properly.

    What do you keep your mantids in?

    I keep the 3'' ones in 4'' cups, 4'' ones in 5'' containers and adults in 6'' ones. I give them just enough room to move without being able to stretch out.

    phyllocrania paradoxa molts to adult

    So Patrick would you see anything wrong with someone on Chameleon forum posting up adult panthers inside a 12'' cube just hanging out in there all their lives? That hobby and many others have pushed hard to set an example of not only bigger is better but to set an example and even call people...

    phyllocrania paradoxa molts to adult

    Patrick I dont think competition has anything to do with it, I posted based Albert ripping someone over wanting more than the bare minimal and I kept it respectfull. When I look at the hobby I see very little reason for anyone to look at another hobbyist as competition being VERY LITTLE here are...

    phyllocrania paradoxa molts to adult

    I did not claim you were in it to make a buck Albert, I said some are.....We all have our reasons for why and how we keep them I just think its about time we try and set some type of hobby standard. Its time to teach and lead by example or this hobby will forever remain small and a mess. So many...

    phyllocrania paradoxa molts to adult

    I think one day we need to get into the ethics of how we keep our mantids........For those of you who think smaller is better I have to ask why? Is it so you can have more? Is this based on you having a pet, being a breeder or a business? Because when you start accpeting the bare minimal for how...

    Glue feet?

    If this girl is lost why cant you start over with nymphs? Id be more worried about what caused the issues than replacing her with another adult.
