Got a shield mantid ooth (R. basalis) from him today. Well-packed and ready to hatch! Positive.

I think dumping the feeders into the mantid's environment with a source of food is really all you need to do... lol

One of them died, however, two of them have molted. :) I'm not gonna put them into individual containers until they're around L3, seeing as I can put dozens of fruit flies in the container they're in for an unlimited smorgasbord.

I'm looking for any species of millipede over 2 inches. Can buy or trade for clawed frogs, roaches, and normal leopard geckos. Contact me here or at [email protected]

I got a chinese mantid ooth for free at a reptile show a while ago. 2 weeks ago, 5 or 6 babies popped up in the container. It's been 2 weeks and I haven't seen anymore. There are a few little strings dangling from the ooth. Are there anymore coming?

I'm totally overrun with these guys; Mainly gravid females and massive nymphs! I'm offering starter colonies of 20 or so adults and large nymphs for $15 plus shipping. THESE PRICES WILL NOT LAST LONG! Roach info- Scientific name: Eublaberus prosticus Origin- South America Max size- 2.5...

I can offer Blatta orientalis, or oriental cockroaches if you need them.

I'm looking for some one who's breeding these rascals. I need a starter colony. I can trade roaches, albino clawed frogs, or normal female leopard geckos. Contact me here or at: [email protected]

I feel very confused now... lol However, the egg case must be initially made, then retracted back into the female, then pushed out yet again for birth. If... that... helps any?

Vaseline (petroleum jelly) works great on keeping them from climbing. The egg case will not hatch; hissing cockroaches internally incubate their egg cases. It was dropped by the female because she's either stressed (environmental or she was spooked) or the egg case was malformed.

Actually, lobster roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea) are a livebearing species. The egg case is retained inside the female after it is initially made.

Alright, I found a source of axolotls, which I've wanted FOREVER, so I need to sell $30 in roaches in exchange for 5 of them. I have many many many species of roach, and also hatchling leopard geckos and clawed frogs to offer. The plan is simple; I send you the roaches, you pay the owner of...

Alrighty then. Phorids they are! :) The het flightless maggots are almost mature. :)

You could select particularly fat females and put them in isolation until they give birth. Or you could use a deep sifter (with the sides slicked up so the larger roaches can't just crawl out )with slits large enough for the nymphs. I bought mine at a dollar store.

Actually, I did get to taste/smell some of that medium at the last reptile show... I find this other stuff even better tasting AND smelling! :P

Alright, I got pics of what I think is a male.

Definitely not phorid flies. I've seen these around as well; these are definitely fruit flies of some sort. I do, actually, have a high-powered microscope with a camera attachment on hand. Would close-up photos help the dilemma? ***Edit- I may have to bite my tongue. They just might be phorid...

lmao!! XD

My mother tolerates everything except insects in the fridge. lol

I think that's easier with non-flying strains. I have fliers, so... Not so easy. lol
