[QUOTE="Rib, post: 12153, member: 307"] Hi, I've kept mantids for a fair while myself but never communally before. I have 4 nymph ghosts on the way from mr French and I intend to keep them all together. The only prroblem I have is that I was wondering how they shed they're skins safely. I know it may sound silly, but even mantids from the same batch shed they're skins at different times, sometimes very different. For example I have two Dead Leaf females from the same batch who are shedding 2 weeks apart from each other. During and after shedding they're skin, a mantis is obviously very vulnerable. With regards to mantids widely regarded as communal, has anyone here ever run into trouble when it comes to shedding, especially during the more mature end of the cycle? [/QUOTE]
