I promised PhilinYuma I would introduce myself XD

My name's Adrienne, I'll be turning 19 in May and I'm a nursing student. I currently live in South Dakota where you don't see many if any mantids.

I got into mantids my senior year in high school. One typical school day, I head out to go home and notice this weird looking green bug on the wall. I had no idea what it was at the time, so I picked it up with an empty container and brought it home. It turned out to be my first pet mantis.

Usually, I don't keep wild animals since Steve Irwin always said not to, but the very next day we had a terrible frost, so I didn't see any harm in saving her from death. I named her Artemis and I kept her for three months before she passed. (I still have no clue if she was really female; I just wanted to use the name Artemis XD)

So my egg sacks recently hatched and I'm the happy mother of close to 100 Chinese mantids.

I currently also have a maltese, a maltipoo, a turtle, a dragon goby, three zebra finches, two sugar gliders, and two rats (one hairless). I would really like an opal corn snake or an axolotl.

This seems like a very friendly forum and I hope to make some new friends. If you have a deviantart account, feel free to hit me up at http://ad-kins.deviantart.com/

 
Welcome aboard!

I'm pretty new to this hobby also and I hatched out my first hundred Chinese mantis just a few months ago. Amazing site to see and they will eat you out of house and home! Then, they may start to eat each other.

Again, welcome and don't be a stranger.

 
Welcome! Seems we have many of the same interests (as do many folks on the forum). :D

We are primarily breeders of cornsnakes, so you might want to keep us in mind when looking for your next corn! ;) (Or mantis, for that matter!)

RIP: Steve Irwin

They are crazy eaters, but it's so fun to watch! XD
