Mantis fell an inch while molting

@Ranitomeya you are correct!

@GayJerkThat actually looks normal, my giant asian mantis is an adult male and his end looks like it's protruding out a bit as well, he's about a month into adulthood and he's great. 

Wow!! This is my first mantis so I never knew male mantids had protruding reproductive organs like that. He's eating and going to the bathroom anyway, so I moved him into my large vivarium. He looked happy. :sweatdrop:  Thanks!

To be honest the same for me, the few adult males I've kept never did either (the majority of mine are turn out to be females). I am glad to hear he is eating and passing frass though.

@GayJerk yay! I'm still fairly new at this too but I've gotten some experience points with the ones I have, haha.
