Looking to sell my Ghost female. Adult - laid her first Ooth today. $70 shipped in the US. Or if you've got an adult species or late instar you're willing to trade. I wanted to breed her but never found an adult male for sale. She is brown. emails only - thanks! [email protected]

I'm interested in breeding ghosts and my female just molted into an adult. Need a stud. USA only - I'm in WA [email protected] email only please! thanks!

I'm looking for, preferrably a breeding pair of ghosts or orchids, but I'll take what I can get. Any other spieces I'd be happy to consider, especially if they're late instar or adults (I hate feeding fruit flys) thanks! [email protected]

Adult ghost female wanted. Or subadult. If you have something else that is close to adult and not an giant asian or indian, let me know maybe I'll be interested. Need this for a photo project soon. email me [email protected]

Hahaha! I opened the freezer and turned my back for a second...

mantids usually chew off bad limbs, but I suppose if it's black, it's dead, you could cut it off and hope for regrowth. My giant asian died of fungal infection. He finally chewed off his own claw, and then he could barely catch prey. I pretty much assisted his hunting before he went blind and...

It's actually the honey bees that are in decline.

well. with a few elcosing now, I'm confident enough that most of the rest will also live. I'm going to take the rest out of the fridge.

sorry - what's the term? eclose?

I read your post and I was dissapointed and then I looked over (the mantis is on my desk at work) and through all the twigs and leaves, I could actually see a single egg hatching. Looks like they'll be ok. thanks guys

Thankyou Ben! Looks like they're still ok then!

I got some fly eggs from spiderpharm.com. I'm currently keeping them in the fridge, but they've been in there for about 2 and a half weeks. How can you tell if the eggs are dead? They're kinda looking dark brownish, like a dead waxworm. When do they normally expire? My mantids need to eat, and...

my paradoxa lost the tip of his leg. will it grow back? will he be able to molt?

My giant took out two huge bumble bees in his prime. + Many many large spiders. He killed two wasps when he was older and more frail, it seemed that he couldn't get a good hold on them. He'd often kill them with a single swipe, if it just made contact, it would puncture the exo-skeleton of the...

oh-I'm not too surprised. It was PETCO taht sold me the fruitflys. I needed something right away though, so it worked out ok. I just haven't removed the lid since the 'bomb' went in. They're eating like kings.

How long do they take to get to adult? I thought I read somewhere that they take 3 or 4 weeks? not true? Mine is pacing his enclosure..pacing pacing pacing. Anyone seen that? seems like it'd be a sign of something wrong. He's flicking fruitflys out of his way as he walks back and forth and in...

Thanks Ben. That gives me a few ideas.

No apologies Yen. I can barely keep up with my mantis and my chameleon. Well..while waiting for some extra space - one of the 5 gambians became lunch for the ghost. Hopefully it wasn't the only male or the only female. I don't know if anyone else can respond to this but - how on earth do you...

Yen knows how to raise 'em! Just got my first ghost from him today with a few extra gambians! Not that extra's should be expected, but what a great surpise! Two new species for me to raise and photograph. solidly packed, labeled, (held on special request), shipped on time and in shape! I've...

A member of this board and a great breeder, Yen Saw, just sent me my first ghost, along with five gambian flowers. So just incase Yen is too busy to respond to my email because he's feeding his thousands of hungry mouths, I thought I'd ask out here... Can they live together? will they eat each...
