Have the following for sale~ (US Only)
Note: I'm posting this sale because one of my kitties have fallen very ill. After a bunch of diagnostic tests, the doctors eliminated a ton of curable diseases and the most likely cause of her illness is lymphoma (a type of cancer). Every vet bill is hefty so I am selling a lot of my holdbacks which hopefully will raise enough money to allow me to treat her if it does turn out to be lymphoma. So the money I get from this sale and all the following ones will all be going towards her treatment and hopefully will allow her to spend a little more quality time with us.
Pair = One female and one male, their instars are timed so they will hit adult around the same time if fed and kept normally. I will provide the feeding schedule I use for the pairs if needed.
2.1 Trio = One female and two males, their instars are timed as well (same deal as pairs).
1.2 Trio = Two females and one male, their instars are timed as well (same deal as pairs).
~L4 = The ~ denotes that the instar is a guesstimate, if ~ is absent then it is not a guesstimate and the information is 100%. L stands for instar and the number following L tells you at what instar or in other words how many times the mantis has molted. When nymphs hatch they start at L1 and most mantises reach adulthood at L8 though this is gender/species dependent! If a mantis is subadult or adult it will be indicated, otherwise they are pre-subadult and younger.
2x = Means there are two available. If no quantitiy is listed, then there's plenty left.

Live arrival and gender are guaranteed. Heatpack is required for live arrival guarantee for temperatures of 50 degF and below. Check your temperatures before ordering please, I will not ship below 20 degF, but can hold the mantises until temperatures are better for shipping. Live arrival guarantee applies only when you follow my shipping recommendations.
Some of the mantises may be close to molting in which case I will recommend to delay shipping. This process is entirely up to the mantis and may take a month or sometimes even longer (for younger nymphs it's usually one week). If you insist on me shipping against my holding recommendation, death due to mismolt during shipping will not be covered by my live arrival guarantee.
