There are my babies! ^_^ I know you're taking good care of them, and I'm glad to see that they like you so much :D Although, I already knew they developed a liking to you while I was down in SC to see it. :) Question for anyone to answer; What genders do you think they are? Granted...

Hey, Thanks for the info about the Mantis' feeding habits- that's pretty fascinating :P The enclosures for my mantis are kept at about 70 or so degrees. I can't really keep them any hotter than that simply because I haven't got a heating lamp (nor know where to get one or which bulb/fixture...

Hey, I have an L2 (I think) gyptian mantis, and have had it for around a month, and it moulted about two or so weeks ago. Since then, it hasn't eaten very much; maybe three times that I've seen. I try and make it a point to feed my mantis (I have two ghosts in addition to the aforementioned...

Hey, I currently have an Egyptian mantis nymph (instar unknown, but I'm guessing at LEAST L2 as it moulted a few days ago since I first got it about three weeks ago), and it's only eaten once that I've seen (today) since I got it.

Hey all, just found this board so I figured as I've already posted four times (my God! So many! :P ) I should probably put my little tid bit up here. Name's Casey (as I'm sure you could have guessed), I'm 18 years of age and right now I live in Western CT, although I'm moving down to...

Well.... wouldn't they get concerned at a gigantic unreadable mass passing under their machines, and want to check it out? I had a metal tin in my purse and they completely wigged out on me for it... then again, that was metal. And when you say "big towel," it makes me think of a bath towel. How...

So, I'm planning on making a week-long trip down to SC late march via plane, and I have three mantis nymphs. Now, I have a couple people who would be willing to take care of them while I'm gone (although I don't trust them enough to properly take care of them... I'm a control freak >.>)...

First off, thanks to those who've replied. Second, the Egyptian finally molted today, but it still won't eat anything. The food isn't too big... it just seems more scared of it than anything else. So that problem is solved. I got some new fruit flies from Petco (I literally had a 'squealing...

Heyo! I'm new here - obviously- and I have three mantis nymphs at this point. I just got them last week and they're the first one's I've ever had as pets. Why three? I ordered a Ghost Mantis nymph from mantisplace.com and because the weather here was so squirrely (I like in the Northeast, the...
