Hello

[Smashhoof]

Hello, I'm Smashhoof. I'm a 21 year old college student in the US. I decided I want to get a ghost mantis! I don't have any mantids yet so this will be my first one. I just need to get the enclosure set up and figure out where to buy one!

Hey @Smashhoof.

Post in the mantis buy sell section, and I bet someone will reach out. 

Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum! Ghosts are an excellent choice for a first mantis.

Ghosts are super cool! They are so much fun, easy to keep and a great beginning species. 

Welcome and be sure to post pics of your mantis when you get it!

A ghost is good to start with

PM me I tell you where I got a group of ghosts mantis last week. I bought many so I could have a breeding group. From what I red this is easiest to keep strange looking one. All the body parts fit together to look like a dead leaf

Sometimes at a glance, I have trouble distinguishing tip from tail. They're so jagged and angular. 

I have a half dozen myself. Two or three breeding groups. Can barely keep up these days. I keep a couple dozen mantises across a bunch of species. And I have even more coming soon! 

Mantis fever.

Make you have places for them to hang upside down. This very important when molting.
