A, are you feeling ok man? I dont see what your referring to. I have always had my BugTrader arachnid logo........

ScienceGirl you are the one who posted up warnings, I asked you for related proof on whether these chemicals, or plastics are a threat to our critters under normal husbandry conditions, now you are asking us to prove their safe............? Can you site me any evidence that these harmfull...

I mean really its as bad as duct taping down a female to breed sometimes you just have to accept its not going to happen and try again with the next one.

I'd be more interested in finding out whats wrong with her than trying to glue her to the lid of a cup or cage. If she's dieing what good will molting do?

Also don't forget guys you can take some fishing line and sew sticks, bamboo shoots or whatever into the lids to create a 3D lid with plenty options for grip.

I just started screening my lids with multiple layers, a ff proof no see um mesh then a thicker mesh material for added grip. Either way the metal mesh exo lids should be swapped out for atleast some fiberglass screen.

But do you have any documentation that suggests the use of these plastic tubs and bins are directly causing harm to the invertebrates under the normal hobby use and conditions? I could see boiling water releasing chemicals but as far as I know there are no documented cases where heat tape has...

Hey Nick your Idolos are a perfect example yes, and the lack of quality husbandry has played a roll with many who want and do not prepare or educate themselves. But some issues I have touched on do play a roll in the area more toned toward sub par care vs actual genetic issues such as people...

My only question is why, I see talk of removing a females head for breeding, Im sure I saw removing them just for fun, when will people stop trying to play "god" and take a scientific approach to this based on preserving whats here and working to establish the species in their NATURAL form. I...

I find this offensive, Im sure that Democrats have some brains man, they atleast have some sort of zombie level functioning that allows them to blindly vote in hoards without worry of how bad its going to get later.......

little T virus injection and we can swap their legs out too and create something really odd............You people really have to be bad with mantids or just not truely love them to even want to consider what you have mentioned above.

COngrats on the 3rd clutch, just get the Hydei going, they go through them fast. Thats alot of hatchlings you should have issues finding them homes in CA though.

You could throw him like a spear........

It's not pain, Im stuck at 215 lbs but Im 6'3'' tall.

I can send you excelsior,

I name all the females Tony. just refer to them as Hymenopus Tony, Idolomantis Tony, and so on................It's such a fem name.

My weight stays the same no matter what I do,

can't say what my rarest would be, and even then I wouldn't put it on a pedistal above the others. I love them all. In most hobbies when this thread shows up its just to create a shopping list of whats saught after for new breeders to gather up in hopes of making it big.

Im sorry but that vivarium is not crowded, Infact the more plant life in there the more bold your frogs are likely to be having more options to retreat to when spooked. There are numerous neo species that get no bigger than 5-6'' you should consider tossing some in. Dart frogs can be great...

They hold up a false bottom for better drainage in the media Andrew.
