cost aside.

I won the battle and got the room all to myself. Here are my mantids and I also have three turtles. All of those tanks are divided and contain multiple mantids. Of course I have thousands of feeder insects as well.

 

[MicroMantis]

Now show us where you keep the "rest" of the mantises. Don't feal afraid, where do you keep the sick mantises. In an old tennis ball container, of gallon jug.

 

[Andrew]

I doubt he keeps sick mantids in an old tennis ball container... thats kind of harsh.

Those probably are all of his mantids right now. Nice setup, too.

When I said that the gallon jugs were too small, I meant for larger nymphs and adults.

Thanks,

Andrew

 

[MicroMantis]

Wait, were you insulting him or me

I didn't mean it personaly, I was trying to keep the milk jug argument going. I love to argue.

 

[Andrew]

I wasnt trying to insult anybody... I was just saying that keeping a sick mantis in a tennis ball container seemed a little harsh, thats all.

Thanks,

Andrew

 

[MicroMantis]

So what if Rick and I keep sick mantises in tennis ball containers, I keep the healthy ones in tennis ball containers. They love the height, and I only keep small mantises. I don't see what is so harsh? :?

 

[MicroMantis]

Ya, you tell it MicroMantis!

Tennis Containers Rule!

( come on Rick, back me and MicroMantis up)

 

[Rick]

I don't have any sick mantids. :lol: I have 18 mantids right now. Divided up into those tanks.

I cant see ANY of those images And i tried copying the address to the toolbar, Photobucket said they were unavailible.

Could someone try re-posting them?

Or send them to me? [email protected]

I might be setting up a heated shed soon for my mantis...although i have only 2 grandis at the moment i think i've been bitten by the bug (no-pun intended).

If you are talking about my pics you can't see them because I have taken them down. This thread is kinda old so the pics have since been removed from my photobucket page.

 

[Jackson]

Not just your pics, everyones! Dont worry if its too much hassel, would just like some ideas for my shed.

Yeah, I keep all of my mantids in small containers, they love it, and I am sure if they heard anybody intsult their containers, they would fly over to you, and kill you. Nice one micromantis, I totally agree, and good argument adds a bit of excitement, but I don't really see one brewing! Na, but seriously, a lot of mantids are better to keep in coffe jars or small containers such as tennis ball containers, as they only need to scent a small area, and feel more secure. Also, if they are kept in large tanks, then they have a tendency to fly, and break thier neck on the side of my tank. I have my creobroters thriving in cricket tubs, chuck a few pieces of silk plant in, and they will be fine.

Cheers,

Ian
