Mantid Community, Im taking a hiatus of mantis keeping for a while. :l Lifes getting super busy, and my plants are attention hogs. I can only focus on a few blood thristy monsters at a time apprently. That being said, i dont feel my mantises are as happy as they could be. So here's what i...

i pm'd you but you never got back! :huh:

i love the petco cultures. nearly all i use. Theres a ton of flies in most, so i feed some right away and make a ton of cultures with them later! :D

Hey hey hey! :D

its my freaking host company! UGH! What are you looking for? Just pm instead, sorry for the troubles. :angry:

Hey guys, Im searching for some P. paradoxa, Creo, or other exotic but easy to keep species' ooths. I can trade some subadult C. humeralis', spiders, and exotic/edible/carnivorous plants. I can also trade credit to my store or cash. Let me know, Frankie

its basically like keeping a backwards mantis. Highly evoilved, spikey legs in the back, herbivores, and want it dry, not wet. They grow in the same fashion as mantis, with instars and whatnot, but a little faster.

They become less skiddish (sp?), will readily take to you...they just become "tame" and easier to work with! :)

WOW WOW WOW WOW! great pics! amazing bugs!

Welcome to the world of MANTISES! Keep your substrate moist, but not too wet. Try keeping him under a desk light for warmth and humidity. I have handling mantids bulds a stronger, happier mantis, so no worries there. Does he have wings? If not anywhere from 1 to 3 months would be my guess...

i do. i feel it builds a stronger, more "friendly", mantis with habts better suited for the cultured world. Plus its fun haha.

am i the only one who does not understand? :rolleyes: haha i guess? :unsure:

welcome from CALIFORNIA which is better than ohio! :lol: :P seeing pics of Merlot would help! funny, i just found an ooth on merlot grapevine... :)

man arkain you have GREAT luck for finding mantids! ive gotta start hunting again! :) hope she does well!

i love pasadena, minus UCLA that is. :P I have had good luck (in Long Beach), finding ooths in decidous trees, such as peach, maples, and the brush around them. As Rick said, the weedier the better!

if your looking for a decent humidifer-measuring unit, try Oregon Electronics or something like that. Thats what i use for my plants. Comes with a "mother unit" and two "probes". ~$50. I think humidity foam is a god-send. It not only raises humidity, it creates a nice little pad if your babies...

HELLLOOO FROM LOS ANGELES! (which is better than ohio! :P :lol: B) ) Welcome, and hope you enjoy this hobby for a long time to come! :)

i doubt it, its an semi-tropical african species if i remember correctly.
