    ISO L3/4 Male Hymenopus Coronatus

    Our female, Beauty, should hit adult in the next few weeks. We are so very attached to her that we are hoping to breed her so she can live on through her offspring.  :)

    To save on shipping.

    We could not keep up with feeders for the longest time!  We ha 2 Chinese ooths hatch and we raised them throughout the past few months. We finally found homes for all but 2 dozen of them we are going to breed. Remarkably, we only lost 2 out of over 200! It seemed like every time I turned around...

    Galinthias amoena for the win!!

    We have 2 of these beauties!  Can you tell me how to tell the male from female? Will the female always have color?  There is very little information available on them. Thank you!

    My pupae hatching/feeding method.

    I feel like I will NEVER get this right!  LOL!  My last batch would not hatch when placed in the habitat with my mantids. I was able to hatch them in another cup and do the freezer method to get them where they needed to be. I recently bought another batch from another person.  I have not had...

    How long to wait for a response....

    It was not Moonlight Mantids.  We have ordered from them with no issues, but never ordered mantids. So far Casper,  the ghost in question, has not regrown his limb.  He has a numb, but he molted last night and only the same numb. Don't get me wrong, we love him as he was our first ghost. But I...

    How long to wait for a response....

    Hey all!  I'm not sure where this post would fit in.  I hope it's okay to post in this forum.  I placed an order for an L1 ghost and a ghost ooth.  When it arrived (April 10th), the ghost has a raptorial missing. As this was our first purchase, I called the seller immediately. I was told that...

    Reptile show

    Hi all!  We did a reptile show last month and sold only 1 Chinese mantis. My son was a little bummed. But we had a lot of people interested and we were happy with the people we educated at our table. We are going back to the same show this weekend. We now have L5 Chinese and I am curious as to...

    Fly pupae

    HI all!  I ordered 5000 fruit fly pupae and I THOUGHT I knew what I as doing.  ;) I heard you can drop the pupae into the habitat for them to hatch. That sounded great. But.....most have not hatched. I sprayed all habitats the day of placing them in there and also a day or two later. Could...

    Containers

    Are the waffle lids suitable in place of the mesh lids for adults?

    Containers

    Thank you both!

    Containers

    Can someone share where the cheapest place to purchase the 32 ounce containers, cloth lids, and wire lids?  I have ordered from a couple or sites, but am assuming that there is a wholesale connection? Thank you!

    Ghost ooth....confusion

    I received a ghost ooth that is wrapped in paper towel. It is not attached to a twig/stick. Can someone please advise on the best way to attach it to the top of an enclosure?  I have read a needle but am terrified I will hurt it.  :(   Also, I will need to position it horizontally as this was...

    Hey everyone!

    Thankfully, my 10 oldest children are grown!  :)   My youngest at home is 14. But.....throw in the 22 grandkids, and there is never a dull moment!   Right now we have Chinese mantids. It was VERY time consuming feeding each mantis in each habitat. But being our first nymphs, we were worried...
