When I visited Chuck at the spider pharm he touched a spider on the ceiling and said that I could feed my mantis one of those, then came back and smiled and said that if I had rare of expensive mantis' that feeding the mantis any predator, especially a spider, may not be a good idea, and that...

Since about a week after my mantis' molted and got their wings, adult stage I assume, I have found one mantis a day in the bottom of their enclosure just laying there, weak and barely able to move their legs. They don't seem ill, but dehydrated, yet it's cooled down the last couple days, and it...

Hope all came out well. I thought I looked here last night but didnt' see any new posts here . Guess I was wrong. If it came out possitive, what did you do to help? What do you think caused the problem, or curl? Why the trinidad and not the others as well ? Was it split open like it'd been...

As to substrate, depending on what kind of feeders you plan to use. Some cockroachs would burrow and hide in and under the peat or coco coir. If your prey will be non burrowing then that stuff will do fine.

Mine is chinese, but I see moths rarely, with it being cool and all, but one just flew in my window, it's in the 70's farenheit here, and I tossed it in the jar, and it was hilarious the shaking the matis was doing with the moth flapping in the mantis' clutches. Ever had a chicken flap it's...

My teacher taught the ICE guys from El Paso some tactical entry classes, to get in undetected for investigations. I sat in as an aide in some of the classes. I went to school to be an emt, hoping to go for a paramedic, but they wouldn't certify me cause I was on probation for marijuana at the...

Not to drive it into the ground, but I mention the dating thing cause hormones at your age can go nuts, especially when you get the right, er, inspiration. My mom was a judges secretary and a pro tem judge, so I've seen a few more things than most people when it comes to the law and judicial...

I say good man, have you offered any grey poupon ? :huh: :P Are you keeping the humidity up in the enclosure? Is it too hot or cold in the room/tank? Have you piped in any mozart...

I put some meal worms in with a couple mantis' and I haven't seen them since, but that doesn't mean they aren't in the substrate, or melted or something. It's been really high temps here. My turtles and mice love the meal worms ! The silk worms are more than I wanted to pay, so If I got some...

Is your budwing an adult or what instar? Maybe a molt is soon to happen and the mantis isn't really hungry Does your mantis have any breathing problems? Is the prey large enough that the mantis may be worried or scared of the prey :unsure: ? Maybe the mantis has gone vegan, no cheese...
