Don't know if it was just time or what, but I fed a small roach last week and some flies this week and it seems like he put alot of body mass on, and I don't see any molt. I suppose the flies and roach were just meatier and juicier, maybe... Seems like he almost doubled in size in the last...

I don't know if he's just there for a drink, but he seems poised to snatch a fish, if it comes to surface close enough. I'm wondering if he could actually harm one of my fish, neons and danios. He doesn't seem to have a menacing look on his mug, but do you think I should mount one of the...

Since about a week after my mantis' molted and got their wings, adult stage I assume, I have found one mantis a day in the bottom of their enclosure just laying there, weak and barely able to move their legs. They don't seem ill, but dehydrated, yet it's cooled down the last couple days, and it...

I was talking to the old hippie guy that does maintenance on my apt. and he told me there were lots of ooths down at the park a couple blocks away. I went down there today and walked all over, basically scoured the countryside, and never saw any sign of ooths or mantis in that park. Where...

Went to the reptile show in Mesa this weekend and picked up a A. versicolor sling, maybe half an inch wide. He'll be in the vial for a while. He's already got a nice metalic deep blue to it. Now I have one inch and half Aphonopelma paysoni, one half inch A. paysoni, and last but not least...

Went to the mesa reptile show today. Saw some silkworm 'colonies' for sale. They seem expensive for a po boy like me :) but I was wondering if they contribute anything that the mantis doesn't normally already get in their diet. Roach colony of dubia for 30 mostly adults for $25, which I...

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to computers, and saw some guys in live chat, but don't know how to get in there, so how's it done ? nevermind, i found it

Anybody buy crickets from Ghann's Cricket Farm ? They have good prices, but I'm wondering about quality and prompt and live delivery and such. They also have good prices on meal worms, but I don't know if the mantis' will eat meal worms, and if so what size are best for sub adult mantis' ...

I have a 'cricket house' that is made of plastic screen, and has the handle and pivoting door, looks like fisher Price item. I read that crickets can chew through the plastic screen, is this so ? The sure seem to like hanging out on the screen, and are hardly ever on the floor, or in the...

I've got larva? from when I visited Chuck, and I'm trying to hatch them out before they die, so I have a bunch of flies and have been feeding my mantis' heavily. I've never seen them as fat as they are, and wonder if maybe I'm overfeeding them, or if they'll just quit eating when it gets to the...

What measurement are people refering to when they give a size for a tarantula, length of body, or width of body, or leg span or what? Mine is about 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch across, so how do I refer to his size ?

I have no experience with tarantulas, but bought a small 'baby payson tarantula' as the container said on it, from a local pet store. He was only 3 bucks so I figure it'd make a good starter tarantula, since I live in Arizona. I was wondering if these require any special care from any of your...

I was wondering what stage of development I should order some dubia blat roaches in. Wondering if the mantis' seem to like a specific stage better, as I havent really notice them demonstrate any preference as to taste or anything. I guess Charley Tuna would be outa luck using the starkist...

Cannot believe I'm asking where to get roaches, when I've spent lots of time trying not to have them... :rolleyes: Orin suggests nauphoeta cinerea roaches for high nutrition for breeding females, so where is there a good, and especiall, inexpensive source for these? I have a couple that are...

This is the item I was refering to before, that my cousin had. I just got it from him two days ago. He got if for a couple bucks at a yard sale. The 'Indoor' bug trap doesn't use a shock to kill the bugs. It sucks them in and traps them. The price on this ebay item is higher than others, so...

I'm going to ride up to spider pharm in a couple hours and see their facility. Anyone like me to get a pic of anything there, if they'll let me photograph stuff? It's only about 80 miles from my place, and on one of my favorite bike rides in the state, so it's just an excuse to feed the...

I went and got some Hydei today, and since they grow slow, and larger, I shouldn't be over run by fruitflies like I was with all the mel cultures I made. I will keep some mels around for the small mantis', and new borns when mine start to ooth. * Do you do anything different for culture food...

I've been seeking solutions to pest problems in my garden, mainly spidermites, and happened to find a place near tucson, that raises insects. I just went there for some green lace wings, to eat mites, and they had a building, out in the high desert, where they raise insects. Didn't even occur...
