    Mantisplace

    Rebecca went out of her way to get me everything I needed to raise houseflies for my babies. She is just great- what else can I say!

    Bugsincyberspace.com (Peter Clausen) (US)

    I just received my second order from Peter, and just as the last time, am more than pleased. I was ordering a "Clean-up Crew" (isopods & springtails) as well as jungle micropods to work as decomposers and keep my tarantula enclosures clean and healthy. While looking through his site at all...

    Mantisplace

    I had ordered a Ghost mantis and Flower Mantis when I found Rebecca's site and ordered (adult) enclosures from her. After I ordered, I figured out that the temporary enclosures I had made to put the babies in were not appropriate for their sizes. Rebecca went out of her way to make small...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    I LOVE my enclosures!!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! The nursery cups you made me are perfect. Both of my babies are hanging upside-down in my 'spider room' and eating a fruit fly. :) One more question. When my mantis's got here I got so excited that I put them in their cups with...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    If I can do most things by removing those sponges then maybe I can tolerate the deli lids. It's just usually counterproductive for me to scare my inverts to death right before I feed them. LOL! I wish we could use the hole/sponge stopper idea with tarantulas. It's an awesome idea!!! They...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    That's why I bought those big 'honkin' 1 gallon acrylic jugs. They have a normal screw-on lid. I went back to get the half-gallon. I didn't get it the first time because it just looked too short, and they were all gone. I was so MAD. I've still got these gallon ones all ventilated. I just...

    Why can everyone open deli lids except for me? :(

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    I just figured out what you meant about lids... I'm kinda slow.. LOL I HATE deli lids. I won't use them. Several times when I used to try to use them I almost killed my slings (spiderlings) trying to get the lid open. Everyone else seems to love them, but I can't get the hang of opening the...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    I haven't ever used any of this stuff. You can't use it with tarantulas(my main hobby) , because the can bite through it. Let me know what I need and I'll add it to my order if that's possible. I've gotten so much advice, I'm dizzy , Not that I'm complaining! I just dont know what to do. The...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    One large hex and one medium hex. I'm getting 1 Ghost and 1Indian Flower. I may have ordered the wrong size, but I wanted them as big as possible since I'll display them at school. (I'm a teacher) Thanks! I should have ordered express. My initial plan was to move them into these when they got...

    Beginner enclosure- 3rd instar Ghost Mantis

    I already took my enclosure apart because someone told me I had too many flowers and stuff in it that might cause molting problems. I ordered 2 Mantis Mansions from you. I'm not sure what I'll do if my mantids arrive before the mansions. How hard will they be to move? I was just going to...

    Very pretty Ts! Orange Baboons are one of my favorite species. Mine is very shy but not aggressive at all. Yours looks like she needs a hug. ;)

    My red knee has started hidding!!??

    Very pretty T! I love Brachys! Is that a smithi? I have a smithi, but it doesn't have it's adult colors yet. It looks really good to me. As long as it has a full water dish I wouldn't worry about it not eating much. I bet it is getting ready for a molt... Or maybe pouting over being moved. LOL!

    LOL! 34 tarantulas, Dubia roach colony, Superworms, Confused Flour Beetles and fruit fly cultures... I don't see a problem! :stuart: Thanks so much for the tip. I really have been concerned about the stickiness of the glue- not just with the netting, but around my little 'windows' too. I...
