Hi,
Whats with people begging for free or bargain priced mantis?!? :? Obviously no one is gonna say no to a freebie but suddenly people have got the cheek to come straight out and ask!
Personally, I feel I have worked hard to raise and breed my mantids and spent money on feeding them and providing housing and heat (as have most other people in the hobby) and it's really taking the p*ss to expect people to give them away just because someone can't collect them while its cold.
In the uk we don't have the option to go out and collect ooths or live mantids at any time of the year so obviously whatever we keep we have paid good money for.....Fair enough if someone genuinely has more than they know what to do with and OFFER to give them away......
At the end of the day any hobby must surely be considered a luxury and if you can't afford to buy something you have to wait until you can.....no one should be obliged to support you.
I for one hope people bear this in mind before asking in future.
Phew.....thats my rant over!
Thanks for listening :lol:

P.S Not trying to start and argument about this but i fully expect some people to disagree with my opinion
