Good luck with the new job! Did you end up ordering more panthers?
I'm done with finals and done with school until the Fall semester. Going to enjoy my summer off.
I was also looking into new cage options because I'm expanding my collection...I ordered some terrariums but I still need several more enclosures. I was thinking of either converting some clear plastic boxes I saw Amazon or possibly building some from scratch out of wood, plexiglass, and fiberglass window screen...or something, still considering design options.
This week is going to be eventful (regarding mantises anyway.) Today 4 new mantises came in the mail - 2 giraffe mantises and 2 African Twig mantises. The other package I got today was a whole bunch of different feeder insects including some hornworns that I wanted to see if they like...but if they don't I can always let them turn into moths. I've got 3 Exo Terra terrariums coming in tomorrow as well as some fly pupae. I found a method to culture houseflies that isn't supposed to involve rotting meat or poop, the medium is supposed to arrive tomorrow too. I am also expecting 4 more mantises which will probably arrive on Friday, two Eremiaphilia and two Camelomantis.
I have 4 ghost ooths incubating now and the male ghost is still hanging in there even though he's due to drop dead any day now from old age. He's 7 weeks into adulthood and males only live 6 to 8 weeks. I'm going to try to mate the orchids again, last time I had to abruptly stop things because she was eyeing him in a way I did not like. I was just waiting for the larger sized roaches to come in so they would keep her busy much longer....and now I have them so pairing attempt #2 is tomorrow.
. And have some money in general.
