Thansk... and sorry this is in wrong forum.. opps!

I mated my ghosts last night (adult approx. 3 weeks). After a few days of feeding up, I put them both in a large tank, the male quickly approached the female, jumped on and after about 20 minutes of fumbling connected for about 1.5 hours, before jumping off and coming towards me and back into...

Male is 5.8cm adult and female is 7cm sub adult.

I couldn't ship USA to uk: its prob impossible but even if not i feel bad enough with national posting of live animals! But, what's the law with sending an ooth?

My female. This pic is nearly two weeks old...

I do have a female :) but waiting for her to catch up. Hoped she would have moulted by now as she looks imminent. Male moulted 2 days ago. I'll put a pic of my girl up...

I was lucky enough to see my male Stagmomantis Theophila during his final moult... Here he is only hours before... The I see this happen...

I did this last night. I was prepared for a big battle with a Stanley knife but in the end it just came off with a little leverage underneath it.

Thanks all for the peace of mind. How the heck did we cope before forums ;)

My ghost waits for the crickets to crawl up top. But I have seen her go down to hunt.

A month? I'm guitted. My ghost has just had her final moult so I only have her for one more month? I thought they spent half their lifes as adults? Or do only females live longer?

Thanks, I always feel better when someone confirms what I am doing is ok :)

Hi, I'd really appreciate some input... I have an Oxyopsis Gracilis ootheca which I have been incubating for 2.5 weeks. Anyway, I’m getting nervous about timings now as I am not 100% sure how long this ootheca was laid prior to me getting it. Its is currently stuck on the top of a 23cm x 14cm...

Now after final moult

I turned my standard critter tanks on the side for some added height. They still prefer the ceiling though so some I've netted the top to help them grip. But they do have a little explore. Also, means you have side access. I've noticed my mantis use branches when moulting to hold on to -...
