    Mantis Size

    I think temperature and growth rate really make the impact on their size,outside of their genetic make up,the warmer it is as long as its not beyond what they can tolerate the more rapidly they eat and molt,and there is less time in between,so less time for them to store food and stretch...

    What to feed L3 (L4?) T sinensis?

    Have you tried mini mealworms the nice small ones,packed in freezer sections usually they thaw right out and if small enough they will go after them,just watch putting them in containers with towel or substrate tho as they will get lost and not eaten

    Diapausing Empusa Pennata Help?

    Thats what I was thinking as it mainly goes by month,not instar,as in the wild they would hatch and grow in the sun for an uncertain period of time before their winter comes,so I'll try sometime before L6 I think,and just hope for the best,can try some at L4 and some later,see what results we...

What is the best way to achieve them around 50 degrees without a fridge,I'm thinking of moving them out of my hot room and into one much cooler,and I could run a seperate fan/mini AC...
