Glad you're enjoying 'em! And even moreso that you didn't let the intial drama get to you and have opted to continue participating in the forums.

Hey there Justin, welcome from Seattle.

Nice, I hope you get a hatch too. Just the thought of a bunch of dangerous little anteater-alien-nymphs running around gives me pause (I'll pass on owning anything that has a bite like that), a hatch would be an epic photo opportunity.

That's a nice looking enclosure! Here are a few modifications I'd recommend: 1) Add a feeding port (if there isn't already one) to make it super easy to add feeders without disturbing the mantis. I generally prefer ports on the top of my habitats, as gravity makes everything easier. 2) Your...

That freshly adult male looks like a gorgeous specimen! Thanks for keeping us posted, I'm excited to see what happens over time (lotsa pink youngins running around?)... :D

Welcome from Seattle, Zach!

Happy birthday Phil!

Welcome!

Sorry to hear this. :( I'm having a very high success rate, my nymphs are all approaching adulthood, but I'm keeping them warmer than my other mantids. Their average netcube temps is around ~80F (70-90F is the range they experience between day/night), perhaps your temps are cooler?

Welcome to the forums.

Agreed, a skewer is a handy tool when handling mantids. Do you feed them well before handling them? I don't handle my mantids more than once or twice a week but I feed them well before I do. I've never had one go after a finger yet.

Happy birthday Rick. Welcome to the "mid 30s". :D

Welcome! Sounds like you've had some great species, I hope you opt to share some pics. :D

Wonder what the neighbors would think if you walked one on a leash?

Exactly. And to explain the exact reason why your first try didn't work. Your link wasn't the full URL, it included a "..." where it should have indicated a folder. #1 is what you tried, #2 is what it needs to be: 1. http://i1089.photobu...mm/100_0077.jpg 2...

Try this instead: [img=http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i357/dlemm/100_0077.jpg]

Thanks for the tips, I'll try to visit all 3 zoos in this area soon. I'm surprised that I've been to Pike Place market so many times but have never seen the bug zoo there.
