well my S.lineola just shed for the final time it has full wings now but it hasnt eaten for 2 days after shedding i know normally it takes a while for them to harden but it still is weak after 2 days is this normal it wont east and it fells soft and falls when it walks lol

it is healthy theres no deformaties or anything

My Sphodromantis mantids were not eating even a week or so after a final shed. Be patient. I don't know what you mean by "it is still weak"- your mantis would avoid anything that can hurt her and deform- after becoming an imago it takes much more time for her skin to harden than in other sheds...

oh i see

by weak i just meant a little soft and not moving much it just needs more time

I would avoid touching it at all if its recently shed
