@Granny's Mantis Mayhem isn't it nerve-wracking to contemplate?

@Granny's Mantis Mayhem isn't it nerve-wracking to contemplate?

It really is and add to that my male is really old now and he has gotten to the point he just stays on the floor of the enclosure. He is my only Adult male to it's kind of a one-shot deal 

 

[hysteresis]

@Granny's Mantis Mayhem I have six spinys, and amongst them, at least two females (I haven't looked as hard as I should. They've been a 'group' program). Maybe even three.

So, I'll feel good about them when it's their turn.

And even orchids, two groups.

BUT

Panthers, one group. Megas, one group. Truncatas, one group. My illudens subs, one group. THAT is scary too! 

I have NEVER bred before. Lots at stake for me.

@Granny's Mantis Mayhem I haven't bred mantids before either. I want to try it in a week, Then Spooky is matured enough to do it. Alana and Tarzan will be in 2 weeks (i really hope Tarzan and Ghosty wont loose their heads)

@MantisGirl13 I can use some mating advice too

PM me when you are ready to try! 

Most likely, ghosty won't lose his head. Tarzan might, but keep a close eye on them and he should be ok.

@MantisGirl13 the female hasn't been calling that I have seen, should I still give it a try or wait?

 

[Granny's Mantis Mayhem]

@Little Mantis @hysteresis best of luck to you both, let us know how it goes and any tips or tricks you learn along the way

THanks, I will let you know, think I will try with my ghosts in a week or so. I think  Ghosty will be ready. Alana en tarzan in 2 weeks . But I will let you know. I am planning to give both  females something big to eat to keep them busy.

Sounds good!
