I have a batch of P chlorophaea that molted to L2 a few days ago. Id like to sell them.  0.0.1 $15 0.0.3 $40 0.0.6 $75 Shipping options are up to buyer but I will be insulating quite a bit because its Summer. Im in Ojai, CA. Paypal, Venmo and Cashapp are all accepted. 

Do you know how many you’d like? And what instar? I’m waiting til L3 most likely but with your experience it’s up to you

Any idea when these should start molting? I’m guessing any day now. They are eating and no die offs!

For your first species, Violins may be a bit tough if you’re trying to figure out how to feed them flies. ghosts are awesome and much more tolerant of temps. That said, i don’t have a ton of experience and my violins did fine. When i don’t have flies, the larger nymphs will eat roach nymphs

I’ll be shipping a lot of the babies off so glass isn’t my 1st choice. I keep my personal collection in mason jars a lot. 

Im looking to buy a bunch of deli cups for young mantids and centipedes. Buying this much single use plastic makes me feel lazy. Any eco friendly options?

Thanks! I have another ooth in waiting so Ill have a ton soon! they started eating this morn. Keeping the enclosure stocked on ff @MantisGirl13 once they hit L3/L4 I’ll get some to you. 

Peeked in the incubator and saw that one of the ooths hatched! According to the caresheet, this species can be housed together for awhile. Any experience with that? Putting them in a group enclosure now but will change if necessary. Pics soon.

cool, they were laid mid May, so hopefully they hatch soon!

It gets really hot and dry here so i feel better with the incubator.  Should be hatching in a week to ten days. thanks for the info!

Hey all So i keep saying im getting out of mantids and then I get offered some of these ooths I have two in an incubator at 78f and 70% humidity. The care sheet here doesnt list temp or humidity so I went with what th previous said 78 but she didnt know the humidity. they should be hatching...

Going out of the country for a spearfishing trip. Not sure if i can sneak him but I’ll give it some thought.

So one of my violins mismolted 3 weeks ago and lost two legs. For the first 2 weeks he was perching and hanging just fine. He (i think it’s a he) recently started falling and struggling a lot.  The other violins in the enclosure have had a few molts and no problems.  I was considering putting...

Its just amazing that inverts(mantids, tarantulas, centipedes, scorpions, who knows what else!) have been taking large vertebrate prey forever and for most people this is the first time hearing it. PLUS, mantids do it without venom. Any other nonvenomous inverts that take large prey?

Please do! I have a thing for native inverts. This one is high on my list

Stunning

Haven’t been bitten. This species is super docile and mild venom according to rumors.  I have a few heros that i am too scared to attempt to handle. Venom sounds too much for me. and thanks for the compliments. She’s a great specimen

Centipedes creep me out like no other animal. I was so surprised at how much of a legit fear response I have with them.  It’s been fun to work through some of that. But...... a few of my other ones are by no means docile and scare the out of me.

Scolopendra white legs. She’s super docile and coming in at 6.5” only about half of what she’ll be in a few years.

Nice! Some local springtails would be fun to watch populate. Not as much star power as a crestie but fun nonetheless.
