Hierodula sp. Pink eye

[brancsikia339]

Yes, he did...promising to give me some "cool, new species"...one of them was Blue Flashes...which I already HAD!...the other was the "Sphodromantis sp." that I still can't identify the exact species! He sent me about 8 of the Blue Flashes & 12 of the Sphodros...no labels, nothing indicating whether he even had a CLUE as to what they were. (I don't think he did, because I ASKED him & he never responded about it, just rambled about other stuff!) The Blue Flashes I could identify at around L3/L4, but the others, I had to wait till they were adults, and they still don't look like anything I've ever seen. He also send an ooth...to replace an earlier ooth that didn't hatch. Guess what? The second one didn't either! (Don't know the species on THAT one, either!)

They could've been sphodromantis sp. chameleon village. I know it sounds weird but it's real.

I hardly believe anything he says anymore...Sorry ChrisP, but you burned me pretty bad!...

No one has Toxodera...for very long. I've asked Yen about them and he says they are VERY difficult to keep in captivity...and even HARDER to breed. Bicornis...maybe...but NOT Toxodera.

I've heard that Toxodera and Paratoxodera are so hard that the longest time the average person kept them alive was a week. Someone did it for 4 months, but that's the extent. It would still be cool to see them in person, though.

 

[brancsikia339]

Where'd Yen get HIS toxodera?!?!? :blink: He used to keep them? Did he ever breed them?

2 bros on asian mantis network caught a toxodera female and she grew and molted and stuff but i dont know any more of the story after that...

Yeah that's what I was talking about. No matter how hard you look on the internet, you can't find any for sale.

 

[brancsikia339]

1-A sexed pair of Violins and Ghosts (Same Paackage)

2-A sexecd Pair of Hierodula majuscula

3-A sexed pair of Popa Spruca

4-Some new cages

5-Feeder food

2 questions: Who'd you get them from, and what's your website?

I wonder what happened to that mantis. I doubt they bred it, since they're virtually gone from the U.S

they never were in the US

 

[agent A]

since they havent posted about it in 2 years i assume they released it and it is probably dead by now

 

[brancsikia339]

Oh yeah, they were in Singapore

First off Carey was just and only expressing her side of the story. You obviously had to disagree and express your side which I would be happy to hear in more depth. No one here was really hating on you. Carey just had a bad experience which she is very unhappy about. Now, before you start hating her you should ask her (Privately) what happened, how she feels, and how you can correct the situation. We were just agreeing/questioning what happened. Now some people try to make a business of this. I am and so is Carey. Which is a very good idea, because you can trade out speceis and get new species. You also can earn alot of money from it. I also dont think Overfeeding can weaken a mantis to that extent. Also I have never heard of gut rot?

Dont pick on certain people if they had a bad experience. Its just not right

BOOM POW! Forget the pink eye. Someone just got a black eye. :chris: :lol:

 

[CoolMantid]

How many warnings are there before you get kicked off?

I think this has gone too far. I really just wanted to find out what Hierodula sp. Pink eye is. Thank you for the info on the species, anyway.
