I got a new camera and have been playing around with it, getting used to it's settings and such. Figure I'll start a new photo thread because they'll be flowing out of this new beautiful camera! Cheers! Sub adult female Gongy Sub adult male MEGA MANTIS!!!! Double fisting blue bottle H...

Hey all! I didn't drop off the face of the Earth I promise! My internet is turned off for the moment so I'm mostly incapable of fully participating in the forum right now. So, I just wanted to send some love :wub: towards the forum to let you all know I haven't forgotten about this place. Be...

Is there a chemical or a specific way to pin or preserve to prevent discoloration of the mantid? I've pinned a few now and they all discolor pretty badly. Since I'm new at pinning, I didn't know if I was missing something! :lol:

Plistospilota guineensis. If anyone has one, I would love to make a deal for it! PM me! ;)

I have another freshly laid Stagmomantis Carolina ootheca that was laid about a week ago, and I bred the female between the last ootheca and this one so I'm sure it's fertile. $10 shipped. US only please.

So I was literally days away from separating these guys because I had a single male and they're L4. I came home today to see this....he was molting when she got him.

I have 2 Popa Spurca nymphs and something like 3 or 4 Gonatista Grisea nymphs that I need to move out. I don't wanna trade for more mantids, maybe just some feeders or something. PM me if you're interested. US only please

I'm excited now! Uninvited guest And the "money shot" The male continues to stay on her back even though they haven't been connected for the majority of today, and he continues to tap on her back (which I assume is a signal to the female). I left them out today and I lost them...

I got a bunch of crickets the other day (60) and put them in their little shoe box that I keep them in. They get some veggies and there's some egg cartons in there, and there's a hole cut in the top with screen glued to it, just like a million other enclosures I've made. When I came home today...

My dad brought me this one! My mom brings the crazy horn worm, my dad brings me......whatever the heck this thing is! He has since passed but I was hoping someone could at least tell me what this bad boy is. The body movement was very similar to a spider and it was extremely inquisitive. I'm...

Had a friend share this link with me, and I found it interesting! Not to mention 2 of them are mantids! http://www.oddee.com/item_96649.aspx

She was being cute while I was taking mantid pictures today (she was jealous) so I had to take a picture of her precious little face

I have an adult female creobroter nebulosus and 2 adult female creobroter pictipennis that I'm looking to move in light of more babies coming into my collection! If you're interested in making a deal, PM me! :D

WARNING!!!! If you are squeamish about seeing a snake eat a baby, almost fetal, mouse, you should click away NOW! There are close ups that some might consider offensive or nauseating. I've said my peace, so no one can get offended by this. So, I fed the corn snake I got a couple weeks ago for...

I'm still looking for adult or subadult male creobroter pictipennis and/or nebulosus. I would be willing to outright pay or make a trade. I've got females releasing pheromones now who need mates!

I think I'm rubbing off on my mom because she brought me this when she came over today, said she found it outside me apartment. Anyone know what specific kind of horn worm it is? I can't wait to see what it turns into!

Here's my new enclosure for my gongys! They seemed very happy with it and the moss is great with the humidity! Now, if you study this picture carefully, you can see several interesting things like the Chinese food on the table next to it, Beauty and the Beast on the TV, my spray bottle, and my...

The bearded dragon, whom my boyfriend named Arthur (don't know why), and he is a ham for the camera! Sorry to those of you who've already seen these on my facebook. I'm a day behind with my forum post of these pics. He's kind of a pain to photograph, but when I can catch him they're...

Carey and I made a trade of some mantids and such for a some reptile action! She is just great, and it was a pleasure to trade with her. She has been incredibly helpful and very generous. Now I just have to send her another mantid to make up for the road trip snack one decided to have! :blink:
