[SIZE=14pt]cool man on the mateing, hey what dose there Ooth look like can you show us please?[/SIZE]
Oh okay, I just made some 12x12x16 cages and I used nylon to hold in D. melonagaster, I was worried that if I get a heat mat or light it would just combust one day . Thanks for the insight.Ok, I'll take some for you. They are, but they don't get that hot. I make sure the cage never touches the light. The hottest "basking spot" in the cage is at 114 degrees (yes, both gongylus and empusa will sit there for hours :blink: ) but that is no were near the melting or combusting point of nylon.
Sorry, all I have right now are L1-L3. I will be selling L2's very soon.I am really interested in this species. The males are so cuuute with their feathery antennae! Do you think you'll have any left at L5 for sale? If I were to get some, I'd only get perhaps one or two males.
I was wondering about L5 or later because I definitely only want a male for those cool feathery antennae.Sorry, all I have right now are L1-L3. I will be selling L2's very soon.
I'm not sure how long I will be selling the Empusa. I am about to start selling them. Since I won't be charging for as near as much as they are worth, they will go quickly. I may be selling violin manitds in January, it depends when the ooths hatch.I was wondering about L5 or later because I definitely only want a male for those cool feathery antennae.Although not entirely sure, since in late December I'll be going to Alabama and I'm going to have to take any mantises with me (I currently have 4 baby sphodromantis centralis and 1 adult female Chinese). From what I hear, Empusa need to be very warm, so if I were to theoretically have one of the fellas, I'd need some way to keep them warm during the 14-hour+ drive to Alabama. Then there is actually being in Alabama, while a warmer place than Pennsylvania, still probably need a way to warm the Empusa up.
Probably best if I wait until after Alabama for any new mantises... so do you think you might have any males around early January? How big might they be?
