Hi y'all. So up until recently Momo has been going through (his?) molts with ease and success. I believe he has one more molt left till he is an adult. However, it's 3 going on 4 weeks since his last molt. I was wondering if it's normal for G.A.M.'s to take a while to go through their last...

Yay! I knew somebody here would know about plants!! ☺ Thank you so much for the helpful information! Momo is kinda boring and ignores the airplant for the majority of the time. Lol I didn't know about the sweet patato though and see myself using that in the future along with the other plants...

Thank you for the reassurance. A couple of them are trying to cacoon now...and I'm like 👁👄👁  Lol

Yeah, I'm not sure how long these lil ones are gunna last tbh. I don't plan to do much once their food source runs out (as cruel as that might sound). It seems like the frass gets stuck to the food sometimes? And I can't get them off of their old dried up food that they came in transit...

Update I put them in a different container and made their powder today. They poop A LOT though and I'm not sure how to go about cleaning their enclosure...?  I posted a pic

Has anyone had experience feeding their mantis silkworms? My friend ordered some for me and they just showed up today. I looked at the website and they seem really high maintenance, tbh.  They were ordered from coastal silkworms and upon visiting their website I think I was left with more...

LG v30. Cool, how much was it?

Thank you! :)

Nice, my android could never lol.

Your ghost mantis are stunning. I hope to raise a ghost mantis next and would be amazed at any of these colors honestly. Question: are you using a dslr camera or your phone? The images look very sharp and clear :)

This morning Momo molted into their 7th (?) instar successfully. I watched pretty much the whole thing and took many photos and videos. I am very happy I've seen them molt 2 times now and feel so proud of them 🤗  🥰  edit: wish I could share videos and but the files are too large...?

Hey y'all,  Just curious if you keep any plants in the enclosure with the mantis. I moved Momo to a bigger enclosure and put an airplant in there with them because of the ease of taking care of the plant. I only slightly worry that it's too spiky or that it absorbs too much water in their...

Oh sorry, lol. That sounds really cool so I hope you find a way to do that! And thank you!

Aw, ok. Thank you. Hope you and your fam are safe too.

Question: if California (the place that I live) is on fire and having excessive heatwaves do I still have to wait 24 hours after a molt for Momo to be considered fully dry? Lol. I'd really like to feed them and put them in their new enclosure sooner today.

Thank you! For whatever reason Momo ignored the cricket I put in front of them today and seemed to be more interested in the left over fruit flies..

Thank you for that very informative explanation! I'm really happy I got to see it all take place. :)

Update: Momo molted completely and successfully and I'm so proud of them!

Thank you for easing my anxiety, I checked and they just put their back legs on top of the enclosure 😌

Hi y'all so I've been keeping a close eye on my giant Asian mantis- and they started molting about maybe 15 mins ago. It's truly amazing to watch. However, I did make some rookie mistakes (and I am still fairly new to everything). A couple of days ago I went a little overboard and poured too...
