    Pet store feeder woes

    I'm having great luck with black soldier flies right now.  The larvae are extremely easy to raise to pupae, and my gongy's love the emerged flies.  The flies are large, harmless, and more sedentary than bluebottles.  They don't buzz around so much that the gongys are bothered by the flies being...

    Liquid diet for sick or injured mantids

    Hi Everyone,  My Orchid female, Opal, fell at the end of her adult molt.  She was almost ok, except that one of her raptors ended up tucked under her chin while she finished hardening.  This caused her mandibles and one raptor to be slightly malformed.  She was very weak before her molt so I...

    Exo terra for gongylodes?

    Gongys like hot dryish air.  My gongys are doing very well in 10 gallon vertical vivariums with a 1.5 inch strip of ventilation mesh at the top; but I keep the humidity at 20-50% and the temp at 90-105.  I'm in Arizona.  You may not be able to keep the humidity that low in a tank where you...

    New Enclosure

    18 tall?  Probably 4-6 adults.     I had four in a ten gallon vertical aquarium which is a similar size, and they each had plenty of room to hang out in the plants.

    New Enclosure

    Your tanks look lovely and practical.  For me, terrariums are part of my mantid hobby.  I have mantids in cups and in terrariums, and the ones in terrariums are a lot more active.  I think I get to see more of the mantids natural behaviors in a terrarium, and being able to behave naturally...

    LF Adult Male Creobrocter Gemmatus

    LF Adult Male Creobrocter Gemmatus.  My female just laid a perfect infertile ooth.  I'm looking to get her a mate so her next ooth won't be a waste.   I can buy him, or do an ooth or nymph trade.

    Thoughts on motorcycles?

    He's very lucky he lived.  A life well lived involves some risks, but motorcycles are a BIG risk.  Don't get one just for convenience, only get one if you love it enough to be worth the risk.
