So this is the second time that this has happened. I was spending time with some of my other mantis's. Something told me to check on Izzie my cat eye mantis. So I did. She was laying on the ground of her cage. My heart dropped thought she was dead. I pick her up. She was barely moving. She was very lethargic. And I realized she was about to molt. I didn't have time to put her at the time I couldn't get her to hardly move her legs, I gently took her in my hand and I put my hand face downward. And she started to molt like a second later. I've had issues in the past with that, I've had people get upset because this happened once before I will do everything and anything for my pets. But when my mantis is in bad shape. And I don't have any other choice. Dang right I will help her. If I hadn't she could've mismolted. I get people will judge but guess what I helped save her life. I would never deliberately put any animal in harms way.

She's fine now on some mesh I tied to a tree and my lamp drying.

Wow that’s amazing. Can’t believe that it’s happened twice! I’m glad that you were able to successfully help her out; I’m sure that was hard. I don’t know why anyone would talk bad about this. That’s a real testament to your friendship with your mantis... anyways keep it up! 

 
That’s amazing! She must really trust you. Don’t worry about the people who judge you, some people will hate anything.
