Majangella have stunning features. I wish they were more obtainable.

I ended up cutting a ziplock bag in half and fitting it to the keeper. I think it looks much better now, and more importantly, alot more functional. Here's a picture, mantis included :) . I've never been very good at artsy craftsy stuff like this so I'm happy I made something that functions as...

Sorry for the dark pictures, flash is a bum.

I got bored and decided I didn't like the kritter keepers my mantids were in since they were so unoptimized for mantids. hot glue guns and boredom go hand in hand. The first thing I needed to deal with was the heavy slant that occurred on the "top" (side). This wasn't an idea I came up with out...

The reason for the smaller container is so they only populate to a certain point. I only have a few inverts so having a giant colony would be a huge waste. I was planning on replacing the tubes whenever they get gross but I'll give the cork bark some thought. The fiberglass screening insures...

I ended up picking up some water crystals. I plan on feeding them dog food for protein with oranges or apples. Leftover fruit really. How long would it take for them to start producing?

I only have 4 mantids and 2 ts, so I don't require very many. Sub is about an inch deep. If the colony gets too big for me I plan to control their breeding by sticking them someplace slightly cooler until I'm comfortable with their numbers again. I ordered about 50. New at this so this is...

Well that sucks. Thanks for the info. At least I know now so I won't do this in the future.

I've heard humidity and heat helps them hatch faster.

I checked the container because I was worried they weren't going to hatch and found some mold in the bottom. Will mold kill bb fly pupae? I have it in front of a heater drying out.

Just google your state reptile show. They're normally monthly.

Going to a reptile show on the 10th and I was wondering if selling mantids was a normal occurrence at them or not.

Guess I gotta call her Lt. Danielle instead of Dan then lol.

She has her butt up alot so that helped. I shined a flashlight on her and it looks like her last segment is one big segment as opposed to being a few.

I figured it out. I was confused because the top side made it look like there were a lot more segments than there were. She's female :) . Thanks for the reply.

You can open the image in a new tab and zoom in if it helps.

I know the pictures are of bad quality, it's hard to take pictures of something so small. Can somebody sex this for me? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

Thanks for the advice. I woke up with about 10 or 15 hatched. I was able to feed them. I'll take more precautions in the future by getting more when I get low or they start to die off.

About 3 or 4 days ago. I have wax worms but they aren't interested.

Definitely fresh pupa. Maggots squirming around in various places. Disgusting. There's still media in there but they depleted it FAST. Thanks for the replies.
