hello! i've been checking out this forum for about a month now. lots of good information. i picked up my first mantis late March, a ghost. she immediatly had a bad shed on me and died just after 1 week ![Crying :cry: :cry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
so i decided to try again and now have a lovely lavender wide-arm who's already had one sucessful molt. whaoo! keeping a steady supply of food has been an interesting challange. i don't know what the neighbors think of me running around with a tiny deli cup to catch flies while the next batch still hatches. :lol:
this year i began seriously breeding crested geckos which has taken up most my avaiable square footage, so i was glad to find a new critter so tiny. my other passion is carnivorous plants and swing dancing. as a side note, my spelling is horrible so i apoligize in advance.
this has been a really helpful forum , i just love the photography!
some photos of my mini zoo below.
