Thanks for all the input guys! These kids are a little old for the pipe cleaners and what not. Id really love to get to a point where kids can take one home(theyve been expressing that) id really like to have a few kinds and a native kind we can release in the garden ( its a charter school with...

Hey everyone, very long time no see! I've been out of the mantis game for a while now but it was never forgotten. I've been working with an afterschool enrichment program for a while now, and have always wanted to bring mantids to the kids. I found a huge chinese mantis last year and the kids...

so guys, it's been a really long time... still keeping ghosts, - finally working as a magician, and recently got into home brewing, which is my new passion. blah blah blah.......... My friend found this guy for me a couple of days ago, and I've never seen anything like it! (just me I'm sure)...

haha yah... Mind if I ask what part of So.Cal you're in? I really need a female, and don't really want to mess with shipping -

I can't help notice your sarcasm... Mainly I was asking if things to climb on were necessary. And I do believe that the little guys would perish under temps that were far less then painful to my hand if they were exposed to it for an extended period of time.

5 dollars? Score... Do you use any specific bulb? It's been a couple of days, and I'm feeding regularly - and only had one more death... It's pretty damn cold - but I still wonder if it's too cold for these guys. They're holding up - My main concern is getting them too warm, I really would...

Well, I have had my ghost adults for a while, and ooths. The Adults died, and I kept the eggs around waiting for a hatch which never happened - until one of the ooths I never expected exploded out! I'm very excited and it's been about five days. Been giving them about 2 fruit flies each every...

hey guys! Very long time no see. Missed this place hehe- Still got my ghosts, although 2 males died in adulthood =( - But after countless tries, I finally got a couple to mate! (getting frustrated I just put him ontop of her, and it worked out) They stayed connected for around 5 hours. Now...

They eat land lubbers to. I feed mine crickets, unless a particular fly is bothering me. Then I catch the little umm, fly. i love feeding spiders to my guys - I hate spiders....

before I actually got into the hobby, I spent a good amount of time looking in canyons/brush and what not... No luck - Although I've heard SoCal is a good place to look. (my friends have found a few adult brown type guys) and recently a baby little green dude. He jumped out of my hands and was...

why don't they have these things where I live?@!

They really are quite sadistic. Can you imagine having little spoonfuls taken out of you =0 I gave one of my little guys a miniaturized copy of the 120 days of sodom. He loves it!

It won't molt anymore. And if it's a male - it will fly. My girlfriend is scarred from me taking one of my males out around her. I can no longer even open an enclosure around her.

I really miss my shields =( Are these mega shields difference from the regular ones? =pppp

welcome! awesome video peter

the guys at my local store told me they'd buy some ghosts off me when they hatch =), cash money. Try that.

welcome! I was around your age, or well - a little bit older when I first became interested in mantids as well not sure what did it. I really liked the character "Zorak" on space ghost coast to coast, and my dad found me an adult. was very excited. Ghosts are very cool!

First mantis I ever got was a Giant Shield, and I had no problems with him. I really like how they look - and they get nice and big. That was something I really wanted,

curious, where do you buy jumping spiders from? I find them in my yard, and hate em - but your pictures make me think differently about them! Very cool.

not black, long back... fool =p -edit... No reason to be a ###### - was going to post a picture, but I just lost the little dude =(
