Does anybody know if this site is legit or who it's run by?

Do not know who or if legit. But looking at the site, the prices are dam low I think. Particularly the ooths.  Seems to be too good.

I think, not sure., it is Bartek with Craig from facebook making a store.

^^^^^^^^^^^ 

Id say a lot of there things are kind of either overpriced or there cheap. I would wait and see if anyone buys from it.

The copyright on the photos says exo factory. They are setting up a huge scam site.  I clicked on one as if I was shopping on the site. It shows what your purchasing in the cart but the only source of payment is PayPal. It is rigged so that your paying with "family and friends" and the end user knows nothing about it until its to late. Paypal should be notified

Hello World! This is Craig Baker. you should see my site. Bartek gave me some photos thankfully. NO SCAMS here I can assure you. Did anyone think to contact me? Read on.... Probably the most legitimate source on the internet. www.USMantis.com Those of you who need to contact me, my direct email is posted on every page of my website, live chat, toll free and local phone numbers to contact me. Please visit contact us I am online during business hours normally from 9am till 5pm eastern time as we are in New York. My real name, company name and real address are posted as well. Also on Facebook. I don't use an alias, or hide and respond always either immediately or within 24 hours. This month of March 2017 weather has had record lows of 9 degrees F, past 7average low of 14 degrees and 16" of snow 10 days ago. We also like others, ship Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid delays

We ship nationwide, and as your weather may be beautiful, though I am envious I do not ship if lows are below 45 degrees.  Please be conscious of the low temp as your pet will be traveling through the night. Read This https://usmantis.com/pages/shipping-always-an-issue-why

I started my site because I found doing business in forums and on Facebook has too many problems, From bullies to scams, amateurs and "know-it-alls" critics and those who just like drama I felt that it was no way to do honest business. I always try to be considerate and helpful especially to whether your a novice or breeder. I offer this service because I love mantids. I was discouraged with dealing in forums and anonymous people though most well meaning, cannot be then found or held accountable when things go wrong.

Please be considerate, contact me directly if you have an issue. If your not happy or willing to wait just ask for a refund

I welcome all comments and thoughts especially different ideas, please try and be kind. For those of us who may be imperfect I understand and  Lord knows I make mistakes. Be mindful as I am a person, 60 year old adult, proud father of 3 remarkable children. I have a lifetime of experience in animal husbandry and considered expert in several fields. Id be considered technically advanced, my company manages 6 websites online since 1998 unrelated to this hobby. I love creative thoughts, different ideas and want to continue learning. It isn't how much you think or how smart you may be that matters,"its how thoughtful you are"

I forgive those who have shortcomings, as we all fall "Its a matter of how you stand after getting up that counts". Like the person who wrote "scammer" post because i do business with someone they don't like on Facebook, see here About me with over 2000 followers Id ask you to challenge him. Ask why and wonder what his agenda may be. And please forgive me for my mistakes as Lord knows Ive made my share.

Thanks and feel free to email me I'm sometimes busy. Life on life terms you know.
