    WTB Texas/Mexican Unicorn Mantis or Arizona Unicorn Mantis

    Might be a long shot, but I'm really interested on getting some nymphs for those species. Please PM if you have nymphs for sale or know someone who might be able to find them.  Thanks!

    how can I feed my nymphs if fruit flies don't come on time

    Petco sells fruit flies, just make sure you pick 1 that is producing and not due to crash anytime soon.

    I put this together out of a 10 gallon fish tank

    I have rusty reds, not the glass but I'm pretty sure they will be able to climb the dividers all the way to the top. :/

    I put this together out of a 10 gallon fish tank

    Thanks for the inspiration, I made an enclosure couple of days ago after spending most of the day trying to find those sliding bars, couldn't find them in walmart, but finally found them in Office Depot. Mine is not as pretty as yours though lol, I don't think I have the creative eye for that...

    Exo

    I have done a few transactions with Exo over the past couple of months, excellent communication and he answered any questions I had. I am amazed by the wide variety of species he keeps! He included a bunch of free/extra nymphs and ooths for my orders. :) All nymphs arrived alive and well, and...

    Easy Nymph Molting Question

    If you are feeding fruit flies or house flies, I wouldn't worry too much as they don't seems to bother the mantis even if they are left in the enclosure. I usually feed as usual and the flies will just remain in the container until the mantis is ready for a meal. Some mantis will eat couple...

    I put this together out of a 10 gallon fish tank

    Amazing! Question, how does one cleans the enclosures like these when they are full of poos? Dump everything out and recreate it? I find that I have to clean all the deli containers at least once a week before it starts to smells really bad (poo and left over food). I use cotton pads so I just...

    Desperately need help/Fruit Flies

    Are you in the states? You can find melanogaster in Petco, just make sure you pick one that is producing and not dried up. If your mantis is big enough, you could also try giving them wax worm or meal worms, they will happily eat them if you cut off the heads of the worm and put the end of the...

    Nymph first molt, back legs stuck. :(

    I recently have a hierodula sp. blue nymph that had the same problem. I lightly misted it and waited a few minutes, then I use a tweezers to grab the skin it was dragging behind while the nymph attempt to dash forward to get away. After a few seconds, it eventually pulled its leg out of the...

    Yen Saw - (US)

    Got some ooths from Yen, and he included an L. minor ooth for free! 1 of the ooths was near it's hatching date and he shipped it in a incubation chamber that worked like a champ. The ooth did hatch during shipment and only a couple causalities out of the countless nymphs that hatched. You can...
