I recently purchased 7 exo terras (3 different sizes)... I moved my Malaysian Shield mantis to the small 8x8x8 since she's the largest and was outgrowing her cup. Eventually she'll move to the 12x12x18 and this will become home to my Jeweled flower mantis - but until then I was wondering if this...

@CosbyArt Thank you! :D

Haha! Pretty close ;)

Fabulous!!! I love when people include the pet names.. I was originally going to share my pets' names, but there are so many I thought "people are just going to skip right over it"... But here it goes anyhow... * 6 Mantis nymphs: - Little Bug, budwing mantis (my favorite. Shhhhh dont' tell the...

Lovely critter family! That's a big move Canada to Iceland! I moved from Canada to Florida  and had to leave 3 hand raised wild birds behind :(  

@Tonypace2009 nice crew :D

I though all females too. I'll try to get clearer photos, :)  

I thought the African's were females too. Unsure on the little guy, maybe he/she is still too tiny.

Would it be possible to sex these nymphs?   AFRICAN: AFRICAN "BLUE FLASH"

Yes, I was surprised but happy! Scratch that... I was so caught up in them being alive that I just noticed they sent an African (S Lineola) instead of the rainforest.  The African is a cool gold color tho! I contacted them so hopefully they send the Rainforest, as it's the one I wanted most...

So USPS decided to deliver my package at 7am this morning (Sunday!)... Good thing I was up and noticed them walking away because they didn't even knock! It got quite cold here in FL last night, and the heat packs were expired. Good news is they all survived! Yay! They were quite cold when I took...

Perfect thank you! I dont' know if mantids really care, but when I take them out on my hand they really seem to enjoy it. They seem to perk up and get inquisitive. But I'm nervous that I'll lose them so thought of putting them in mesh tents for some "fresh air" lol

Thanks for the tips... Speaking of mesh, I'm in  Florida so was wondering when temperatures were ideal, if it would be fine to put them in a mesh enclosure for a few hours during the day?

I really hope so. I'm having such anxiety worrying about it. Everyone's experiences are helping "calm" me a bit tho, so thanks for sharing your story too lol 

@Aristalochia Is that all? Imagine if you "had lots of room"  :o

Wow! That's awesome!  I was reading that nymphs can't survive more than 5-9 days without food. I assume that's less when there's no water either? Plus they are in deli cups andI don't believe they have holes :(

Riley is a cutie :D

Nice! :D

Thank you!  :D
