    L4 feeding adivise

    You can always order feeders online. But yeah you can split a mealworm in half and hand feed the guts.

    Thistle Mantis Not Eating

    My presubs eat fine. But once one of my presubs turned sub she stopped eating. She catches flies, takes a bite, then freaks out and throws it. Her mouth has turned black and claws have started too. Always thin but seems to eat enough to survive. She’s been like this as a sub for 3-4 months...

    It's Really Hard to Take Pics of Mantis Butt...

    If you can just get a pic of the front of the face and crown I could tell you. From what I could tell it looked like a male but it’s not definite

    shipping delays

    Hmm USPS has been slow lately. Buts it’s weird it’s gonna take till Monday. Sorry to hear. Who knows maybe they will survive. I had a bunch of L1 tropical species survive 4 day shipping. But it was superb packaging.

    Do reptile shows generally sell mantids?

    @Ocelotbren if I’m thinking of the same breeder that you are he will definitely be there this weekend. He is selling a ton of idolos at the event.

    @Ocelotbren yeah. Sometimes thing just don’t go your way. I am hoping as well that this was a isolated event. Thanks for the kind words.

    Mantis101

    Great experience.  He’s got the dream collection and is nice enough to share these rare species with all of us. And not outrageous prices either. The best of both worlds! Even included a ton of extras for a slip up on not getting my package on time: which I was completely fine with and not in a...

    Shipping mantis

    @Aristalochia Well I looked up USPS laws and live non-venomous insects are allowed. Though I’m not sure about non-native species laws so im going to try and not tell them. Just sent a shipment out and told them it was “fragile materials” then she was confused and asked again so I just said it...

    Shipping mantis

    So I’ve shipped multiple shipments now but every so often that I hand over the package someone asks about what I am shipping. How do I respond to this? I’ve said before I was shipping like materials or food but that always leaves the USPS guy confused. Am I able to tell them live insects or will...

    Quick Question

    Depends on age and how much it’s been fed previously. I’d say a week or two at MOST.

    MantisKingdom/DeShawn

    What more is there to be said... DeShawn is the boss. Doesn’t get much better than him. He’s a professional at what he does and still has some of the lowest prices around. 10/10 on every level. My shipment arrived in perfect condition. I would recommend him to anyone.
