[QUOTE="Granny's Mantis Mayhem, post: 331207, member: 11319"] One of my baby thistle's is throwing up what looks like blood all over the enclosure lid. I changed the lid and the new one is now covered also. By covered I mean several large spots covering about a 1/3 portion of the lid and each day there is more. Other than that it's eating and drinking fine. Doesn't seem stressed there is no black liquid or anything like that. Should I worry? I got five nymphs in a few weeks ago and one died in molt the day after I got them. So I have four left. Does anyone have some tidbits of wisdom? [LIST][*]size - L3 [*]Temps - night low 75 F - day high 90 - 100 F [*]Humidity - 20% - 30% [*]Watered lightly once daily [*]Eating regularly on Fruit Flies every other day [*]Enclosure cleaned every three days [*]No mold or extra moisture [*]Plenty of ventilation [*]Fruit Fly cultures are clean [*]Not handled [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
