I bought 2 budwing mantids from him at a tarantula show, love em

that game looks totally awesome but i don't need another WoW-like game... I'm already addicted to it :X

Awesome pics. They look like they're aliens from a creepy sci fi movie or something, hah.

Hehe! Oooh, Curly and Moe, I like that! That's definitely a possibility.

Thanks guys! I just misted her cage and she looked at me like "whats WRONG with you" before she started cleaning herself off, hah silly girl. I'm glad it's a female, the name Bertha has kind of stuck. She doesn't go right after pray, which is why I've only seen her eat a few times, and that...

Wow, that's GORGEOUS

Awww, I love them! They arrived yesterday from kenthebugguy safe and sound. I actually only ordered one, but I think he sent me two on accident, not as a gift. Oh well, I'm not complaining, a free bug worth $15 is cool with me! :D They're not nearly as big as the african giants, which is...

Not the best pics, sorry. Did the best I could with a bad camera. Male or female? I've been calling 'it' Bertha. Also, does it look like its full grown? I assumed it was, because the person I bought it from told me it was an adult, but then about a week ago it shed and I feel bad...

I'm absolutely drooling over that Orchid!

Thanks guys!

I count 6 segments, so female? Here's a few pics to see what you guys think, also one showing how small he/she is so you guys can maybe better guess age?

No idea if this is a girl or a guy, and I'm not even certain how old it is, but when I stopped by the East Bay Vivarium expecting to just see some snakes and saw this one little Orchid Mantis sitting there as if waiting for me, I HAD to take him home. I just took a quick pic before I misted his...

I just got my deli cups and lids in the mail from the mantisplace.com. Wow what fast shipping! I feel like I just ordered this stuff yesterday! She did a great job packing, and even gave me an extra container, about 2/3 the size of my other containers, and with an actual wire mesh on the top...

I don't plan to breed. I wouldn't breed something unless I had the space, money, and a very extensive knowledge of the kritter. These two are simply going to be pets and help me learn, but I don't think I will ever breed them, just keep them and admire their beauty. :D The pet store I work at...

Screw it, I'm going to get BOTH! :P :lol:

Very cool site! I notice there's two different types of 32 oz cups, one thats fatter and shorter and one thats narrower and longer. Which should I get for a budwing and an Asian Giant? Also, should I get the option with the cloth lid so I don't have to make my own?

Where can I get them in small quanities? Are they clear? I want to be able to see them from the side, not just the top

Ok. How about a glass jar with part of the lid cut out, with mesh over that hole? I've seen plenty pictures of those. What size jar should be used?

Thanks guys. So whats the smallest size of a rectangular kritter keeper that Icould keep an Asia Giant or a Budwing in? The smaller the cage, the more I can get :P But I don't want it too small!

Thanks guys! :lol:
