My whalbergii died last night i found her in the morning, at first i thought it was attempting to change colour as it was a new shade, from green and tan to a mix of green,tan and pink. I checked again an hour on and she was in the same place so i tried to get her attention, with no joy.It had...

I have no plan on mating them

A little of the subject but it saves space, I read that without mating they will still lay thier ooth and the ooth may even hatch!!!. Is this a one in a million thing or is there anything i can do to try and make this happen effectively? JC

Cheers for the feedback,good to know. :mrgreen:

My sub adult Whalbergii molted last night, i woke up to a floral monster. She didn't have a sucsessful molt though her one wing must have dried up with a crease in it and she can't fold it up with the rest, is this a major problem? I am a bit gutted :cry: but still chuffed that she made it. JC

Night m8

Yeah, thinking about it i suppose your right. You can buy some pretty cheap enclosures if you search enough

Obviously keep it ventilated and give it something to hang on

The hight should be fine but in my opinion i think you should lenghten the width and length,maybe 8" Length and 6" width. But thats my opinion i dont want to tell you what to do with your own mantis. JC
