Bought two adult female ghosts from Tapi, postage was abit slow but to no fault of his that is norwegian post office and customs fault! I bought 2 fresh one with bad moult (he gave me this half price for breeding purposes) and they both came alive to me PERFECT! Can reccomend fair prices and...

The eggs the female lay later in her ovidipotition will be more yellow they have a lower hatchrate then white ones but most should hatch :) White eggs of most specis are 85-90% while yellow eggs are 75-80% in my expirience anyway :D

I also should add i kept them while waiting for reptile legalization

I keep mantids beacuse they are inexpensive and has alot of variaty, I keep, Rhombodera meagera, Phylloletes breve, Phyllocrania paradoxa. Gongylus gongylodus, echomonella sp and creobrater gemmatus. And I like all of them trying to breed the ones i got as adults.

I preffer frogs, but none are legal so this cutie got my huge tree frog enclosure :P  (I used to have some but sold them once the list came out.)

Already ahead of you ;)

So today I will be picking up my first reptile ever, I would not have posted about it if it had not been for certain issues with this in Norway, in 1977 1st of january the norwegian senate banned ALL herptiles except if you were issued a liscense, and no one could get a liscense without proper...

They were, as I said they legalized some species on the 15th of august so 5 days ago :P  (getting a crestie ^^) The reason was back in the 70s the hobby was still rather new and most pet reptiles started dying off around winter time so to stop the importing and then killing of animals they just...

Well as I kid I wanted a reptile as a pet, but at the time (actually until 15.08.2017 which was 2 days ago :D) Reptiles and amphibians were 100% banned, in Norway! So i wondered to myself if there was other cool thing i could have as a pet. I discovered people keeping T's and scorpions, so...

You should be fine, ghosts are really hardy they can go above 70 if really necesarry. 50-60 you are more then fine :)  if you see the mantids trying to lick things for moisture give them a small mist, other then that i think you are golden :)

Facebook is just not a good place to share stuff like that, forums is better for such, only use facebook to sell/buy is my 2 cents.

Seems fine to me ^^\

No 32oz deli cups, with cloth ventilated lids.

I hope those ant mantids make their way over across the atlantic, we got the asian ants here but those from florida had some wicked colours on 'em!

Wait you got  religiosa in Cali? We barley have them in their native europe :P
