    To freeze or not to freeze?

    I can't see it hanging right to shed again,you'll have to see it hang and eat to judge though,if not it will just mismolt again when the time comes,sorry but thats the reality,I'd only not freeze this IF it was already an adult and was able to eat,but its got some twisted legs that will probably...

    How I ship Mantis

    I think this needed to be done,if there was one before now I didn't see it or learn from it,so this will help all the newbies and maybe all of the older veterans who are still sending things unkemptly that end up dieing. I wish I had the time to do it and make this myself and how to cup and...

    How I ship Mantis

    I feel like I've seen this before I wonder why lol...I wasn't willing to do this but I'm glad you did,the heat pack part,that you didn't show for people who need to know : you need to unwrap your heat pack and I even preheat mine under a lizard lamp and then wrap them up in newspaper or paper...

    Just missed - bud wing mating

    Atleast a week or two budwings lay about every 3+ weeks so you have some time,sometimes longer,it just depends on how fast they get the ooth cooking and how much they eat lol

    question - once having been mated with, will the female lay fertile eggs for the remainder of her life?

    It depends on species,some will lay 8-17 ooths and in those cases you'd have to rebreed,after about 6 fertility and numbers are lost in most species when it comes to ooths,so I don't think that is really true,as a female will continue to lay ooths until she is oothbound or nearing the end of...

    stupid question: can I mist while they are molting?

    If you mist away from the mantid down the side of the cup its fine,but if its a species that doesn't need a lot of humidity or coolness then don't worry about it as said,just let it be unless it needs some saving later on :)

    Bud wing maturity

    2-5 weeks is prime for males i start around 3+ for budwings,and males mature much faster so the last few times I've even cooled the males so the females can catch up,some females are nasty others aren't so you may want to really watch her and feed her during breeding rather than fattening them...
