    They're incredibly awesome. ;)  I vote "yay" on you getting one! ;)   Awe, they're big ol' softies. ^_^   I must say they are a really neat pet to have... I mean, they eat ALOT... but totally worth it. :)

    The other addiction.

    Rehomed the girls to a bigger home, also swapped out the outback Orange sand with a blue.. Then I started reading about the hammocks and how much the beardies love them. So I decided against buying one... and just made my own. :)  I made the hammock out of an older tie dye shirt I made (and...

    Marijuana, mantis, and feeders. Safe?

    they'll be fine. ;)   None of mine have died of pot smoke intake.. I've honestly never seen any change in behavior. ....I mean, I don't smoke pot. I swear.

    L3/4 Griffin Nymphs In 2 oz Containers

    Griffins are pretty dope, I've had about 7 of them previously myself. They get 4 to 5 inches but not as bulky as the chinese. They're powerhouses, my females were taking down full grown dubia (female) roaches. (A previous baby of mine: Brownie.) I'd say if anything? Go to a dollar store/tree...

    A real disappointment on that ooth, but a few others plus myself are really aiming for breeding. So hopefully SOMETHING good will happen within the our circle of keepers. Unfortunately most of my little stags didn't make it through. Most the L1 guys just randomly died ( Which happens being that...

    Appreciate it. :)   Also, I wanted to drop in and inform everyone that I managed to bring one of the females (Ruin) up to L6 just yesterday .. Putting her ahead of the crew.

    L3/4 Griffin Nymphs In 2 oz Containers

    ^^^ what they said.  Griffins get big, like chinese mantis big. You'll need something bigger.  Try to use an aquarium or something of that size. No 32oz cups... they need room.

    06.26.16: All the remaining idols have molted successfully to L5s. I took the opportunity to *** them all to see what I had a few days back, to my surprise I actually have two pairs... Maybe this time around I can attempt to breed the Idolomantis diabolica myself, rather than play as " The man...

    Species identification

    Doesn't look like the S. viridis I once owned. (In my opinion...)  Here's the few photos I found of Fritz. (S. viridis) @ sub_adult: @ adulthood:

    06.12.15: Popping in to inform the community that we all made the move. I had 2 of the idolos molt up to L5.  Ruin: Un-Named: However we did have a loss, not even to the move. The last remaing giant shield i had died for no reason, never even molted passed L1...
