[Prayingmantisqueen]

The ghosts sold first...

Those H mems.

And ghosts!

Yeah... My faves...

 

[MantisGirl13]

It would be nice just to give them to someone and some how exchange when I decided to he t back in it. I may end up just telling them all I cant give them up and keep them. But we will see. Pray about it!

I have been praying!

That is good.

I sold 2 ghosts. $24 plus overnight shipping.

That must be hard. Having to sell the creatures friends that you worked to raise. I wouldn't go as far as saying a mother losing her children, but still. Mantids actually bond with their owners, especially if they get handled a lot. I bet they will be just as sad as you are... I would definitely buy some from you, but I just bought nine mantids that are coming and my parents don't want me buying anymore for the next couple weeks. I can totally understand non-supportive parents. My tarantula and scorpion obsession? Never even had a chance. First time I asked my parents if I could buy a few mantids I was expecting a "Sure, just one" but they supsrisingly ADORE my mantids. Sigh, if only your parents could see that mantids aren't just bugs. 

I HOPE YOU CAN STILL KEEP MANTIDS

I will keep you in my prayers.

Me too. I think he'd let me but he hates to see money go down the drain. I mean us kids cost him money but he doesnt just sell us off! Why would I sell my "babies" off? I had to get rid of my chickens to because "they didnt make any money" and "they were a loss" so thats how I got my dog because "we can breed her and make money off pups"... Btw those are actual quotes... Ha ha

He said it would be a very good idea to downsize. I definitely would do much better in the summer.

That's AWESOME @Prayingmantisqueen!

After my first time feeding Hydei today my wife was looking at me all.... 

I'll be pulling them out of my ears for days, I think.

 

[Graceface]

@Prayingmantisqueen So maybe you can keep them now? Sending you positive vibes and prayers that Dad will let some stay. 

 

[hysteresis]

@Prayingmantisqueen Amen.

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

I am going to downsize. If someone wants them I am gonna sell. It is a lot harder to travel with 12 mantids so I can see practically in downsizing. Maybe I will just keep my male and female ghost left and leave it at that. Thanks everybody!

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

- MantisGirl13

I am sure they will. 

 

[Prayingmantisqueen]

Also BTW, I am not going to be very active on the forum starting now and as soon as some sell and such. I will be gone a lot and won't have time to be on here. The ones I keep I will post periodically about but that may be all. 

Thanks for all the help and prayers!

I hope you stick around, @Prayingmantisqueen.

Folk like you (and @MantisGirl13, @Synapze, @Little Mantis, @Aristalochia @Graceface and everyone else) have been amazing to "the newcomer".

We'd all be less without you. 

 

[Synapze]

@hysteresis Most of what I know I learned here.  

 

[hysteresis]

@Synapze absolutely!

Y'all have a front line presence that greet newcomers. Y'all provide good advice and present it in a warm welcoming way. This gesture doesn't go unnoticed.
