Help Support Mantidforum:
Exo can speak English same as you, so no issue there. The website I found of his here though only translates the homepage, but as mentioned just send a PM (private message) here on the forum and you can order that way.
I may have to try that, but once they get on there I'll have issues getting them down as my wife will refuse to get them off lol.

Depends on species
Those aren't even the biggest ones I was at expo and saw one twice as big and it still wasn't the biggest species lol. MantisRCool

Omg since I last posted so much happenned! 2 lineola and 2 laticollis ooths hatched so I spend all my time feeding them and trying to sell them (really small market here). Plus my stick insecs also hatched its insane! I exchanged some ooths but lineola doesn't go very well Laticollis is better Paradoxas went to breed elsewhere, decimiana male also I lost my female, mated majusculas I see if anything happens, popas became adult, truncatas and dessicatas Im waiting for the female, weather is ****** sometimes it really gets hot, saved some lost some... Can't wait for my week of vacation! It's crazy! Here are some pics though

News in my mantids:
Sold like more than half of the nymphs but still got quite a lot on my plate. My friend offered to sell some for me so I really hope it will work.
I bred Dessicatas, Popas and Majusculas, still hoping for the Truncatas to be able to breed. The male Decimiana tesselata I gave to a friend did his business and there are nymphs already!
I exchanged some ooths and got some new nymphs, so now I got new species I didn't have before: Gongylus gongylodes, Acromantis japonica and formosana, griffins, budwings, Rhomboderella scutata, Sibylla pretiosa and "mega mantis" (plistospilota guineensis I think).
Also my one idolo female is now L 7, I really hope she will get to adult! She is so friendly and outgoing, not something I expected! My Rhomboderas (probably Basalis) are molting to adult and I hope I can find a male for them. Sphodromantis viridis also became adults but I won't breed them unfortunately, there is no market for that here. There is no market whatsoever to be honest, wish I could send stuff to the US.
Anyway some pics again

Heya, some news about my lovely mantids ooths aren't going very well what with the weather change, I don't really have an incubator so I just let them be, either they hatch or they don't.
My first generation of baby lineolas and laticollises mostly are adult now, I bred one laticollis girl just because I was bored and thinking there needs to be more of these guys around. Don't wanna this species to be lost to the culture, they are way too amazing. Weirdly, people are reporting breeding troubles with them?
Otherwise I bred some Acromantis Japonica, Creobroter Grmmatus, Orchid mantis and just now Rhomboderas are going at it. It was a lot of trouble to get the malr so I hope he will do well, Ideally for more of the girls
right now my fav species I have (except for lineola and laticollis) are Rhomboderas, Pnigomantis medioconstrictas, Camelomantis and Megamantis

Thanks for the update. Many of us wish we could get from Other Countries.
