So after two days I put them together again. He was more interested than usual, and hopped on pretty quick. But over time lost interest and wandered off again. This morning, however, I woke up and they were connected! I'm so happy they're finally mated. Been trying to get them to mate for over 2 weeks now. I'll post pictures later on today. gotta have that mantis porn lol

Something interesting this morning. She initiated.

I took out the old furniture and added in one of those big fake vines everyone uses. The male was on a part of the vine that was lower, and the female was closer to the top. Well she saw him and he saw her, and she started walking down towards him. I thought uh-oh, she's going to eat him, but left them alone because I was curious. Anyway the female walks all the way down to within striking distance of the male, he watched her the entire time, and then she turned around. She waved her fat butt right in his face and he hopped on in half a second. Not even joking. I've seen it take him an hour to creep up and jump on but when she takes ten minutes to come to him he hops on right away. I'm about to pass out so I may not witness connection but I know even though theyve been together for a few days in the screen terrarium, thats the fastest I've seen him hop on. He's certanly eager.

 
Congratulations on the connections! Surprised to hear that she initiated though.
