Basically what it says in the title. I am looking for a subadult or adult female ghost mantis as a mate for my subadult male. 

Oh hey sorry for replying late. I have been inactive to this forum for a while but I will be sure to add your url to this post. Thanks for bumping this again!

Alright I am also adding websites which don't necessarily focus on mantids, but provide them for sale anyway.

Depends on where you are. If you mind paying 12 pounds for a L3/L4 some guy on ebay is selling them in the UK.

I have just added Becky's bugs and grubs to the list. She doesn't stock a lot of mantids, but she is somewhat of a smaller breeder and I just wanted to give her a bit of attention to get her name out there. I ordered a girlfriend for my ghost and she arrived superbly packaged and completely...

So if you cut a hole in the side of the 32 oz container won't go out, and the cotton wool will ensure that the flies always have plenty of water to drink without drowning. Additionally, this makes it a bit easier to change out their water, and it will lead to a lot less chance of an escapee. 

OK, so I think I might buy 5 or so mantids and see how well they grow up. They are currently L2's right now so it might be a while before I am able to update this post. If anyone has any EF's (EMpusa Fasciata) so I can diversify the gene pool please let me know.

You can cut a hole and use a test tube with cotton at the top and water inside it. Always use cotton around the edges of the test tube if you use a test tube as well to block escape routes.

Hello everyone. I wanted ask how resistant are mantis to inbreeding? After replying to the unknown mantis appreciation thread I decided to check one last time for any Empusa fasciata for sale and behold, I found someone selling L2 nymphs from (probably) a wild caught ooth. I wanted to start a...

Do they look like Empusa fasciata?

Yeah, I was very disappointed as well. The amazing variety and prices on his website were just too good to be true I guess.  

And here is the last species for today. It has a lot more information available on it than the Pogonogaster sp. and it is on my wanted list (I would pay crazy money for it but unfortunately it is not in culture) however the only mantis close to it is the Empusa pennata. I present to you all...

And here is the other mantis in the Pogonogaster genus. I haven't found a common name for this mantis yet, so I am coining the term Columbian Lichen Mimic in order to differentiate it from the Lichen Mimic, which is a North American species. I have also only found 1 picture of this mantis, which...

Have you guys ever seen a Moss Mimic Mantis? Pogonogaster tristani, which is a species which has actually been studied and described by science twice!    

Hey man. I am sorry but it looks like this guy is a scammer.  Here are my sources: https://arachnoboards.com/threads/exo-factory-any-experience.302775/ http://chujciwdupebartek.weebly.com/ This last guy literally went and spent money on hosting an entire website to bash this guy, so I don't...

Thank you very much! Another major benefit of this thread will be to shed light on obscure breeders. I will be sure to add Exo factory to my list. Exo-Factory is a scam. Please do not purchase anything from them.

What about Isabella? Bonnie and Clyde sounds good, I named my 2 turtles that before realising that both of them were females. Perhaps Mickey and Minnie? I also have a female ghost mantis nymph who needs a name. Any suggestions?

Personally as a redditor when I hear the word tiktok my vision turns red. If i put aside my thoughts as a redditor getting more people into the hobby is great, but when I read some of the other replies to this it reminds me a lot of the hype for clownfish after Nemo was released, which is ironic...

I have added some keepers to the post but if anyone wants me to remove them from the list or if anyone wants to add me to the list please pm me. I wish to connect keepers who are on the forums and who are in close geographic proximity to each other for breeding loans or trades. Don't be alarmed...

Green ghost might be a different locality. For example the tan colour form in OBT's is a specific locality. Perhaps in the wild the 2 populations of ghosts are starting to diverge into different colour forms. I had heard that the higher the humidity, the greener the ghost, so someone should...
