Many thanks. My order (ooth) arrived safe and sound and hatched few days ago.

I’ve just started in the hobby of keeping and hopefully in the future breeding preying mantis. In this context I can therefore recommend the following supplier:

Ian Batten (http://www.mantisinc.tk/)

In relation to the ootheca Ian has sent, I have had a very good hatch rate, close to 100% (Still waiting on x3 oths, but I have by no means given up hope; out of the 15 +/- I have ordered I think the numbers speak for themselves).

I will most definitely continue to purchase the majority of my oths from Ian in the future.

Regards

Rob Pearson

I received some mantises from Ian, his mantis is in great shape. Ian's packaging is great too!! Respond to e-mail very quick, a very honest trader and always up for a nice mantis chat. Will definately deal with Ian again in the future.

I havn't recieved my 2 C.Gemmatus and 4 P.Agrionina yet...but thats because they are not due till tomorrow.

However, whilst sorting out the deal with Ian he was extremely paitient and calm in response to all of my questions. Ian is a credit to the mantis world, whether you buy from him or not.

I will let you know in a while how they arrive

All arrived in good time, excellent quality, & with lots of info & after sales service.

Helped me get off to a flying start as a complete beginner.

A trusted breeder. Experienced & informative. Can't go wrong buying from Ian.

Thanks Ian

P.S been asked to post on behalf of another of Ians customers who would like to say that she is extremelyhappy with her P.wahlbergii that was delivered today and I have seen photos and have to say it looks fantastic (hope mine look as good).

She will also be using Ian again (if she can get round her other half LOL)

5 gorgeous Idolomantis arrived safe and sound yesterday from Ian. Very good service as always and excellent packaging,

Cheers Ian!

 

[goneleocrazy]

My order turned up yesterday as arranged. 2 fantastic little (understatement) wahlbergii.

And a ready to use fruit fly culture with some already emerged flies to use straight away.

Awesome service Ian will definately be keeping an eye on your site to see what other goodies you have on offer.

Hope to deal with you again in the near future.
