I hope you know something I don't about the promotion I applied for.

My launch PS3 has outlived three RROD 360s. I wanted to like them but they just aren't worth the cost and headache.

I was wondering why it is still sitting empty...

That is how I got my start with exotics, a group of ghosts gifted by Mike.

Their nests are underground tunnels, not the typical paper wasp nest.

The real question is, can they eat cicada killers? :devil:

Thanks. I'll probably stick to these for most of my collection until I am able to start doing custom glass work again.

Made a 2.5 gallon today with a drop-down style door instead of side hinged to maximize ventilation and viewable area. The door drops all the way down when on a shelf so it does not get in the way while working inside the tank.

Or it could introduce a novel pathogen which decimates the remaining wild populations. Very careful management from both a genetic and biosecurity point of view is needed for captive populations intended for reintroduction. Read up on past reintroduction efforts and you will see that they are...

I hope not. I had my fill of morph madness and fad-chasing in the reptile world. There is plenty of natural beauty in the world without trying to breed for abnormal colors and deformities.

Were you by chance a ball python fan before discovering mantids?

Do you like having three of them, or would you prefer one fat Creo? :shifty: I just got a group as well and they are taking BB their own size or slightly larger, I wouldn't trust them in a group.

Google "MDF water damage" and check out the pictures.

Water is no friend to MDF, I would expect it to swell and crack pretty quickly from spraying the mantids. I'll defer to the more experienced keepers to suggest a safe sealant or paint.

Nice work. Do you plan to paint or seal it to avoid moisture damage?

I have used cork panel background in frog vivs and they hold up very well. I'm not sure that they will do anything to raise humidity on their own but they do not have mold or rot problems in wet environments. I believe Mike has been experimenting with cork for some mantids.

I'm not the least bit angry, just plainspoken. Your friend does not know as much as she thinks she knows.

Like I said, idiots with degrees abound.

It shouldn't hurt anything on its own, but keep an eye out for mold.
