    What happens if I don't breed my female orchid mantis?

    Eating the male isn’t harmful for her. As long as you don’t over feed odds are she won’t become outbound and will live a normal lifespan.

    Desert mantises still in the US hobby?

    A few years back I bought a few of these guys, leading to me breeding them and selling off all the nymphs. I chose not to keep any nymphs as I was at a time where I wouldn't be able to raise more and wanted to move on to other species. Looking at the hobby now they seem to have fallen out which...

    Help with Theopompa servillei

    Flat surfaces are preferred as they are a bark mantis. A bit warmer than room temp with a bit of humidity is probably best.

    Desert mantis (Eremiaphila sp.) food

    I contacted mantiszoo.com about this since they're currently selling desert mantis nymphs and bred them recently. This is what they said, "Hello and thanks for reaching out.  We have used both [fruit flies and firebrats] and honestly see no difference. We use fruit flies now because, like you...

    Desert mantis (Eremiaphila sp.) food

    I'm interested in these guys but I have one issue. Some people say they need firebrats as feeders while some seem to just use foods such as flies. Anyone with experience with these guys have success raising them from a young age with flies?

    Giraffe Mantis care?

    Wasn't hard at all for me. Temps at least in the mid 70s is fine. Humidity didn't need to be anything specific. I just sprayed a bit every other day and made sure to raise humidity a bit more around a molt. Make sure not to spray too much/make sure not to make the enclosure overly wet.
