Hi there! I have been a member here for a while but have definitely At been active in the last few years. I used to keep Indian flowers (C. gemmatus and pictipinnis), violins, boxers, and Carolinas, but got out of it after a very inconsiderate roommate of mine killed off my whole group of...

Hope no one minds me reviving this thread since it's a month old but I was just thinking about this! I've lost several violin mantises due to not being able to keep a constant, good supply of flies in stock. Supplies that are supposed to last a month last a week and then I have to supplement...

The best thing you can do, mantiscurious, is spread this EVERYWHERE you go on the net. Get it in front of as many people as you can. :( I was going to post this here, as I've posted it on all the forums I frequent, reptile-oriented or not. Urge even people who don't necessarily like reptiles...

I had one of these that I'd caught at work and kept, and I thought it was a fantastic little pet. I was putting together a larger habitat for him and in the transfer... he escaped! :P So I am hoping to maybe get my hands on another? Haven't seen any at work so I'm kind of wondering if there's...

My Stagmomantis carolina somehow managed to catch a HUGE cricket I'd thrown in with her while hanging upside down from the top of her enclosure. Got some good video of it, thought I would share. Enjoy! (watch in HD) She has since passed on, but I will definitely remember her fondly. :)

Stunning spider! Poor little lizard.

Chris and I just concluded a lengthy trade transaction - I sent him female Creos for his males, and he sent me two of the ooths they laid - and I can say I'm happy with everything start to finish. He kept me informed on how the females did, when they were bred, when they laid, and when he...

HAHAHA. Fantastic! The newspaper is awesome! Well done. :D

Hoping to find someone who's still got Violin Mantis nymphs or ooths available. I would take either. Let me know what you can do for me. :) Thank you.

Looking for one or two fresh, brave Creobroter pictipennis males. I have a handful of females left from the ones I got from Sporeworld, ended up with two males. One died of mysterious causes, and the other... well, that was my error and I'm absolutely disgusted with myself so we won't go there...

Glad I'm not the only one who saw these and thought "Mantis enclosure!" I haven't gotten any yet but it sure is fun to see how nice they could look. :) Fantastic job!

LOVE the video! Absolutely fantastic. :D

Eeee! Love Violins. :) Great pics!

Got some new videos with my shiny new phone! :wub: Proving there are some upsides to losing your phone. :lol: My cousin grabbed some mayflies while he was out, so the Creo nymphs are enjoying a well-deserved treat! :) Click!

Some people are just inherently afraid of snakes, and unfortunately her being the parent, she really doesn't need a reason. :P It's really no wonder, them being an efficient predator, I think we're predisposed to being afraid of them. (Doesn't help that through most of our lives, snakes are...

Thank you! I do love their colours, but I'm a fan of the Hoggies because of their smaller adult size. And when I had him sexed and learned he was a male on top of it, I was sold. :wub: Thank you! I love the boa temperament as well. Couldn't ask for a better snake. And aww, that is too bad you...

Thanks! Just gotta work on getting that beardie now too, lol! :lol:

Well I didn't expect it to be so soon, but it finally happened. I am a snake owner. :wub: Meet Remy! He's a beautiful 3-foot-long male Hog Island boa, and a dream come true for me. ^_^ Needless to say but I am in love. L-O-V-E. Very sweet and easy to handle, and his colouring is to...

Wow. Fantastic photos! Adorable little guys. :D

Wasps... I still have violent (and possibly hysterical) aversions to wasps for no reason that I can remember. Bees are okay as long as they remain a suitable distance from me. I'm fine with spiders. I don't know if I would have one as a pet, but I do let them just kind of hang out in the house...
