i cannot reccomend the exo terra glass terrariums enough!!! http://www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk/acatalo...Terrariums.html i keep most of my mantids in these using the various sizes depending on species, and they can be used for lots of other things in the future if need be, i think they are...

they actually turn and face each other, both then flash their abdomens, i have sen them do a threat display and this is not a threat, they take it in turns, one waves their abdomen, then the other, and then both walk away. i think it probably is a method of informing the other that both are...

well, i hae sub adults, and relatively young all mixed and havent had any losses, you can actually see them communicate with each other using their abdomens! with a large terrariums, you also give them the opportunity to spread oujt though they dont really, and keep them well fed, i think that...

i think its a very small hole and has sealed itself, the mantis is using its arm as normal as though nothing had ever happended!

lol, the cricket i put in was too big, but until i put it in a saw it compared to the mantis it didnt, the mantis cleaned itself up, and then went a caught the cricket, though i got it by the back second time and the cricket had no chance, sweet revenge!!

i picked it up out of its tub, was going to feed it to my ants! it just turned its head slightly and latched on, obviously in defence, but crickets are so aggressive! even in my mantis tanks which i always leave a few live food items in, they are allways dragging around and fighting over any...

I understand what your saying chun but the mantises never remain in one place long enough for the microclimatic changes to effect them so extremely within their terrarium, i dont use live plants, have false plants and lots of sticks creating a varied environment, i have one strip light above...

I know there has been a lot of talk about colour morphs in mantises and different conditions causing colour morph, i keep 16 ghosts in one large terrarium so all experience the same conditions, just observing yesterday, i noticed that one of the large individuals has turned green while the...
