Happy Birthday @MantisGirl13 and @hierodula !! Hope you both have an amazing day today!! 

Well some bad news and good news: Bad news is I woke up to one of my pseudoxops on the bottom of her cage  :(  : She seem to have lost all her strength in her legs but when I picked her up she was digging into my hand with her raptorial arms trying to hold on...I offered her honey water but...

I know the post office isn't the best at handling packages but everyone I have ordered from had always taped the lid because with all the toss and turning its bound to come off. 

:(  I am sorry about the mantis, that really sucks. Was the lid tape onto the cup? Hopefully you can work something out with the breeder 

Welcome! Would love to see some pictures! Also awesome name, bulbophyllum is probably one of my favorite min orchid species, alongside Lepanthes and Masdevallia

Thank you :)  even though the Creos are so small they are probably one of the favorites right now, they are so active and will chase and tackle prey as big as they are!  Hopefully when they get their wings, @PlayingMantis or someone can help me identify what species they are so I can find them...

Your panther is adorable!! They are on my list and I hope to find someone in the U.S who is selling them.

Coming from keeping Dart Frogs and bioactive enclosures I can answer some of your questions: 1) They will not reproduce to an unmanageable scale, springtail population is dependent on the amount of food (whatever your mantis doesn't eat), so the population will decrease/increase till it is...

I safely separated the Ghost into individual/pair containers. That was a pain as they just kept crawling all over my hand! But everyone is safe :) The two Creobroter joined the molting party and decided to molt at the same time last night! I think one is now a subadult and the other is one...

Beautiful!!! 

@Jaywo thanks again for these babies! They are so adorable!  @MantisGirl13 well base on the stories from both of you, I will be separating them into either individual containers or 2 in each container tonight. 

Ahhh I will have to go get more containers then, I was under the impression they were communal and I just need to separate them when I can sex them. 

Okay I will admit I am addicted...because Mantis Mayhem! I finally got a good picture of the creobroter spp. And as for the new arrivals, how could I resist getting these cute little babies: 11 L2 Ghost Mantis Nymphs (Thank you Jaywo), boy they are active! I had these guys when I first...

Thank You! That girl actually did molt while I was at work into a beautiful subadult I think, so one more to go! The other isn't far behind, she's been refusing food so I think she is going to molt any day now.

She's gorgeous! Seeing all your beautiful Orchids makes me super excited to get one in the near future!

Yen has been very helpful and patient with the order I placed with him and he even sent extras! 

Thanks everyone :)  she's a champ, even without the use of two of her legs shes still holding onto the top of her cage, I am just worry that the weight of the male might be too much for her so I am going to have to position her safely before I try to mate her in a few weeks. This hobby is...

Hello Everyone! Charles here.  I started keeping mantises about 10 years ago, but with college/moving and everything in between I didn't have the time or resources to keep up with my love for this hobby. The past few years I have been working with/breeding various species of Geckos and Dart...

Brought some amazing mantis from playingmantis and they arrived yesterday all in beautiful condition. They were package extremely well and she was very patient with all the questions I have in regards to them. I will 100% recommend her and will definitely do business with her in the future.

Hmmm so I try introducing them again today, the male does not seem to be interested at all of the Female. (I open both of their containers and put them next to each other) I try feeding the female then putting the male next to her but he doesn't jump on or see minterested at all.
