Same thing happened to me last month! Cilantro was MUCH more picky and eventually I had to cut one of the mealworms in half and basically shove it in her face for her to try it. Once she did, she loved it! Flies are such a pain to get, I don't think anyone breeds them locally here. I mostly...

Can you show some pictures? It might also help to make your own thread, probably in this section https://mantidforum.net/forums/health-issues.3/

Yeah it looks like she's passed - if you want to be sure you can put her in the freezer for about an hour. Even if she is alive, the freezer won't cause her any pain/stress as she goes. RIP :(

Hi, welcome!!

Yay! I love seeing how their color changes through molts. My ghost started out brown and ended up pretty green!

Last of the spam! A baby! Isopod cleaning herself The most unbothered isopod eating Just a cutie

Took some isopod videos for an experiment project proposal I'm doing in class! They were not cooperating. A deliberate sabotage of my video Isopod slap fight (some mild flashing in this one) Munchin' Isopod on the move

Hello! Tiger Woods is very pretty!

The red on the second one is gorgeous! Like a little watermelon!

My ghost has been fine in my poorly heated apartment (it's gotten down to 62°F at night, though I try to avoid that and it's usually at 68°F during nighttime now), so I think yours should be ok with a night cycle!

Aww so talented! My ghost (her name is Cilantro) was SO wiggly when I first got her as a L4. She's still very wiggly. And the smaller enclosure until he gets bigger is a good idea!

Super cute little guy! I love the 'dance' that ghosts do. It looks like he'll blend in perfectly with the wood you put in the enclosure!

I've bought all of my vivarium plants from NeHerp and they've mostly been great! I did have some issues with the Peperomia albovittata 'Rana Verde' plants I ordered rotting, but all of my others have either thrived or died because of something that was totally my fault.

I like to use NeHerp's vivarium plant shop to check out bug safe plant types, since they're intended for use with anything you want to keep in vivariums. I've used a few Peperomia species and I've had no problems with my mantises! https://neherpetoculture.com/plants Here's the shop, it's a...

It looks really cool! I bet that your mantis will like climbing on the background wood. I've got the same enclosure base (Zilla habitat?) and it's a really nice cage.

Nice to meet you! I do some undergrad work with vectors of infectious disease (though nothing fancy, just collecting and sorting) and it's very interesting.

She looks very polite! I love her name :D

Minty has unfortunately passed away :( He was a very pretty boy and a great first mantis, and I'm glad I got the chance to keep him! Here are my first and last pics of him. I think I'll try to pin him - not sure if I want to go for a spread wing display or try to make one that looks like he's...

Flipped over the isopod barks to check on how they're doing, still going strong! I saw a baby orange cream which is cool, I bought some at an expo but 7/10 died. Hopefully they'll reproduce some more!
