Wanted; phyllium giganteum  Sorry I didn't know this was a taboo subject or illegal ; /

Happy new year folks.Haven't posted anything in a while. Hope everyone is well. I think I burned my mantis bridge a little by having 50 at one time. It stopped being personal and more like a job. Hours just to do a feeding. Im down to 18 now...most dying from old age. If I do decide to keep...

I saw some talk of communal set ups today. Just be careful. I just got 5 boxers yesterday i seperated 1 and had to go somewhere so i left the other 4 together ( L2 ) When i got home today i looked in the container and counted 3. I seperated those 3 and dumped the container on the counter to find...

Whats the longest amount of days it has taken before your ooth hatched? Any type mantis.

Lost my last original mantis yesterday Ghost.She was about a year old and was quite the eating machine. My favorite was when she would play dead if i put her upright. soon as i tipped her back upside down she would perk right up. She will be missed ; (

Has nice day ; )

I think i'll take the chinese ooth out of cryo stasis tonight. Over under on how many days it will take to hatch ? better yet closest wins..not sure what but you win ; )

Our adult female majuscula just flew half way across the room. My novice mind thought that only males flew. I think my chin hit the floor. Now she's chowin on a big ole cricket. Next part of this post is it looks like one of her eyes is big and black ...any suggestions? Damage ? missed a u in...

Found my old double shield on the bottom of her cage this morning. I thought she was dead at first but now she's trying to climb the cage screen without much luck. Do I let her die naturally possibly suffering or do I put her to bed in the cryo chamber? Apparently I'm quick to do the latter...

If anyone has them ; )

Ok question. How long before kids stop coming out of this ooth? It hatched Monday I saw nothing since. Luckily I'm a lazy guy and just put the lid with booth attached on top of an empty deli cup. I never snapped it closed just put it there. Well today I come home and find 5 or 6 new kids and...

At the last reptile expo I was given a Chinese mantis ooth. The next day ( Feb 9 ) I wired the stick it was on to the vented lid of a 32 oz deli cup and put it on the shelf. I did absolutely nothing to it. No mist no jacking the heat up. Its between 69-73 in my apartment. I do have a humidifier...

I lost a shield last night...found it in the bottom..and now I have a violin fighting to get its back 2 legs out of a molt. Body..front arms...

Had to put another kid in cryo-stasus last night. Baby giant African I affectionately called Pukey ( it hurled on its paper towel ) it would drink but not eat. I found it floundering around on the bottom of the deli cup. I hope someone puts me in cryo or steps on my air hose or unplug me if I'm...

One of my shield mantis molted and one of its back legs is still in the skin. I wondered why it was hanging around its skin..apparently its skin is hanging around it. 3/4 of the leg is out. I sprayed it with a little water and had a gentle tug o war but no luck. What next? L4/5 it is

We just named our baby violin ...Banjo
