@guapoalto049 Thanks!!! AFter this molt a few hours ago... 

12 days later she has molted again.

My mantis is starting to so it more especially after this last molt.

Nice!

@ashleenicole Thanks@ Lol it's not really that hard... Just look for hardy plants the ones I have is pretty much kill proof lol. @CosbyArt Lol I hope so... The great thing about it that it can be trimmed without issues...  It's fun... It gives me something to do After I feed the Mantis. I...

@CosbyArt The original was posted not even 24 hours ago... Look at grass now. :lol: :lol:  

Prey won't stand a chance!!! The grass is finally starting to sprout... If u look carefully you can see it's pretty high in the back right side behind the pothos. Hopefully I'll be getting my Springtails next week!

@CosbyArt Even that seems like a lot of work lol... Is it possible to just keep the cycle of moths going... Like say buying wax worms every 2 to 3 weeks would be fine as well??? I've tried to do some research but most people breed to have more wax worms not moths lol... I just want to get her...

@CosbyArt with these kind of containers would u suggest a very small heating element... Like say a Beta heater... My place is terrible as far climate goes... Winter is very cold and Summers are very hot! 

@CosbyArt Thanks for the info!!! I'm actually feeding her flies now... My issue is the same someone else mentioned... The wifey is not too keen on a jar of flies in the fridge.  I have no clue why the guy at Rainbow Meal worms said the wax worms will turn into moths in a week or so... I guess...

@CosbyArt Thanks! Lol yea I figured a video would explain it a lot better. 

This is what it looks like outside and inside the box... I cut a small piece of dowel and screwed it through the cap that will be inside the container... I also added a little piece of chain on the other end of the dowel so I can retrieve when I'm done. Also the caps provides a nice snug fit so...

To piggy back of @CosbyArt & @invertebrates concepts I added a little twist... The thing for me is unlike u guys I don't work with a large about of Mantis or insects therefore most of you guys builds are far more than I need for my one baby lol...  Instead of the cup/plastic bag idea I...

@CosbyArt How did u fix the gap situation??

So far so good... I will definitely keep you updated.

Nevermind... I went to a local General Discount store and bought a giant strainer....I cut out the mesh and I'm going to use that... 

@CosbyArt Will the wax worms/moths eat through fiberglass mesh... Unfortunately I threw away the only piece of metal mesh I had. ?

Is it possible to get thru the colders months on wax moths and dubia roaches alone?!?  I've read about the dubia roaches throughout the forum but most of the responses are conflicting... Some say they're great and some say the exoskeleton is too hard plus they play dead or burrow never to be...

@hibiscusmile Mind sharing he full concoction... I'd appreciate it! 

Thanks or the advice @LazarusMantid and yes I agree!
