Ghost Molting Concerns

[Teaspoons]

I may just be over worried because I've lost quite a few of my guys over the last several weeks, but my two ghost mantises

haven't molted in a bit over a month. It seems like all their previous molts happened a bit faster. Am I just being paranoid?

I mist them twice daily, and they are kept at about 75-85F and fed about every other day to every three days, but they stay pretty stuffed looking.

Are any of these habits not good for them in general? Thanks in advance for the advice!

I would not worry. I have had ghosts take very long periods of time between molts. I had a sub-adult male and female take almost two months to molt to adulthood. Just keep them well fed, with plenty of heat and humidity.

I like to feed mine every day, with a drink please

The older they get the longer time between molts for many species.

I second that!
