thats where my ones from ian are coming from , the states . so im kinda concernerned ive just wasted some money on a species i cant mate with my females ! thanks Neil

kool thanks ... so are yours definate " Grandis " like your thing says ? or were yours sold to you as " Grandis " like mine was on both occasions !

the only reason i ask is because i got 2 females and thursday should be recieving some males from ian and as it will be 1st time at attempting mating when they mature i want to know if i got the right species .. but as you said probaly Grandis isnt even in stock ! so in that case i guess i...

mine are about 4cm long .. and no rows of dark spots on the top but there seems to be 2 rows of faint yellowy spots and no dark splodge on forearms !

so christian , what exactly are the differences between each species ? if you give me an answer i'll check my grandis to actually see if they are grandis, i dont really want to wait till they dead ! thanks Neil

i agree with jay ... my Polyspilota aeruginosa was a complete nutter ... wouldnt sneak up on pray .. would go the direct route in a hurry and then jump on its meal before munching it down extreamly quickly . i even put a few maggots in her tank once and she grabbed one stuffed it in her face...

i guess they might have started eatin the substrate already and have hatched .. but i guess i wont know till they get bigger !!! im gonna buy some more from livefoods anyway. maybe they had somthing done to there genetailia like being castrated or somthing lol Thanks anyway .. ill keep you...

http://www.virginiacheeseman.co.uk. try her mate ! hopefully its the kinda pop-up cage you want !! Thanks Neil

UPDATE : still nothing :( , i still got moths mating .. and still got nothing !

i use vermiculite, never had mold grow. keeps in moisture well and i when i take out the half eaten things .. looks good as new . but people have different preferences ! but in the end as long as it keeps moisture and not toxic . its fine, even if you do have to change it out once in a while ...

the 1st day they come out of metamorphasis they were mating with each other. climbing on each others backs and abdomens joining ! i guess i'll just have to wait and see .. if not . i'll have to buy somemore wax worms and start again ! Thanks Neil

worth a try i guess .. wat if nothing happens still ? thanks Neil

It's Been blooming ages since these eggs have been laid now .. more like 5 days at least ! moths appeard from there pupated stage about a week and a bit ago and were gitting jiggy almost straight away ! ive got 500+ eggs , and about 7 moths left ( after feeding mantids ) , there kept at room...

nice one Thanks !! :D

anyone have any idea how long it will take for the lil wax worms to crawl from there eggs and become more feeder food for me ( when they get bigger ) Thanks Neil

i would stick with your african 1st .. everyone on here would agree that would be wise as spiny flowers might give you a bit of trouble as your 1st mantis . but as soon as you get used to looking after em .. then yea , totally go for the spiny flowered beastie :D , i dont wanna feel like im...

how odd .. when i posted it up .. it was like HUGEMONGEOUS !!! owell .. if it looks fine now that all that matters ! Thanks Neil

WOAH .. very nice ... although a bit pricey .. wonder what specie it is too !!! dont worry about the price too much though at the moment ... if your only going to get a few then i guess it don't matter that much really how much you pay ... i got ripped off for all three mantids ive kept ( £8 for...
