Just getting into the mantis hobby. Got my first mantis last saturday and am loving it. Just a little L4 (?) ghost. Name? Jamal-Tyrone. Despite what I have been hearing about males not eating much, he seems to quite a voracious apatite. He ate a moth and a leaf hopper today alone. Is there such...

Looking for an L3-L5 D. Dessicata. Message me if you are interested in selling. D. Lobata works as well.

Looking for a Popa spurca nymph. L3-L5. Many thanks, firends of friends.

Awesome. A bit late due to an unforeseeable accident, but They arrived healthy and I couldn't be happier.

So, I have heard a lot about using paper towels as substrate. Is this acceptable? If so, how often would you replace the substrate?

*facepalm* I feel like an ***** now.

New to the hobby and am expecting a Ghost in the mail next week. I get the gist of feeding them, but I have never had anybody mention anything about water. Do I feed them water with a cotton swab? Or do they get it from their food?

The title seems to explain the situation quite nicely. I'm looking for a single ghost mantis for sale. Could one of you oblige my request?

That makes me feel better.

I have heard a million and one horror stories where the mantis dies, or almost dies during the molt. With proper feeding and humidity and temperature, how common is this, actually? People make it out like it happens every one out of three times!

Pretty much what the title said. Preferably a nymph, but anything works. I'm new here, so I have no idea what ANY mantis goes for, I'm counting on this community I have perceived as very kind so far not to scam the ignorant on price.

So, about those Deli Cups you talked about, you said to just go to Wal-mart or something, then to the Deli section and ask to buy some Deli cups? Is there a specific size?

Hey! I was actually just about to message you about this! Thanks!

When I look in the store section, I see only two options, Forum Supporter, and Banner Advertising. Do I need to upgrade my membership to one of those to purchase mantids from this site?

You could say I am very new to keeping mantids. Not so much phasmids, but mantids, yes. I really only have one question: Where would you suggest I get my first mantids?
