This time it's true. My pokemon have finally hit their last evolution. Khal and Khaleesi are are adults now. I've split them up since night 1 of adulthood. Since then, i've noticed some strange behavior. The first full day of adulthood, both Khal and Khaleesi's heads were fixated on one...

Oh yes, i am fully aware of the capabilities of an ant. They stay completely separate. But i can't speak for the 1 or 2 that get out on occasion while feeding.... =D

Thank you very much. I'll be doing this.

Thank you! Should i separate them after they molt for a couple of weeks? They've never been separated since purchase.

Wait, dedicated care sheet says 7 molts....That means they stop at L8 and not L7? If so, i am sorry.

Yes, both had reached L7, or what i believe to be L7 before this video was shot. Both bought at L5, and both had two molts since purchase. Did i not feed these guys enough?

Thank you. And, isn't one of my mantids supposed to have wings, or some form? The male i think? He doesn't have anything that i've noticed. And they look smaller then theye supposed to. Both my male and female were bought at L5, and they've both had two successful molts. Plenty of food, and high...

All my ants i found for free, and i'm more then happy to give pointers, and point you to a good forum for anting. Also, i don't buy any pre-made stuff. I make all my nests myself, which cuts down on cost considerably. The smaller nests and outworlds you see in the video cost me approx $4 to...

I can teach you how to start your first.... It's a very captivating hobby. And about 10x cheaper then my mantids. For instance, every container and nest you see for my ants added up still doesnt touch the cost of my male ghost, let alone my female. Right now, i'm waiting on my ghost pair to...

Update! Pretty sure both my mantids are at adult stage, which is exciting for me. I let them walk around my ant formis when i'm working on them.  Here's a short video of my collection.

Well, Khal reached adulthood last night, and man he looks awesome. Khaleesi is still one step behind, but she usually follows quickly. As for the builds, it's going great. I have multiple species and i'm trying out which ants will be the best from my multi culture tank. Here's two of my first...

Picked up an L5 female ghost today from denise. First of all, super helpful and she told me about an expo in my area. Met her, and picked up Khaleesi for my Khal. (Whom i found out came from her as well). Had a good time talking and meeting a new member. Would highly recommend her. 

=D Welcome

Hello avn. The builds are still being researched. I have a small enclosure with a dead mandevilla plant and some moss for my Ghost mantid right now. I'm currently working on a Formicarium and outworld for my ant colony, along with some other insect related ventures. I've been having a lot of fun...

Awesome! It's good to know i can use wild caught prey. I was n't too sure on it since i read a couple horror stories on here. What about house spiders? Can he have fun with those? And with my ant's, i have not gotten as far as i was planning on. I'm in the process of building a...

He ate 5 in a feeding cup last night. I didnt add any to his habitat, cuz well i didn't know if it would be bothersome to him. Although, it looked like he was searching around for food on the bottom of his enclosure before i fed him. So, you think 5 at a time should be sufficient and won't...

Ok, so the LPS only had Fruit Fly cultures. Until im able to find larger prey, how many and how often should i be feeding him fruit flies?

I'm sure i can find someone for him.

I figured. He was sold as an L4, but he also had a molt in his container with him.
