My Mantids

[MantisGirl13]

Sorry to hear about your failed breeding attempt. I would have been wrecked.  

That's a gorgeous dessicata!

Thanks! I still am pretty disappointed, but I hope I get a good number of ooths from this gorgeous girl!

Thats terrible! Im so sorry!

Good luck with the dessicata ooths. If you have many down the road and were offering, id purchase one from you.

Thanks! I'll keep you in mind!

Beautiful mantis, but she looks very cranky on the pics.

She is cranky! I have to watch my fingers around her.

Thanks! I don't have any spinys right now, and my website isn't ready for use yet; it's just set up for display. Sorry to burst your bubble there!

I figure I should probably update this thread a bit since I haven't posted here in a while. Here are some more pics! I've been learning how to edit photos, so they look a bit better than my previous pictures. 



The first two mantids belong to a friend of mine, but I figured I'd share the pics anyway.

Wonderful pictures! What mantids are available right now?

Thanks! I don't have much right now, only a sub adult male popa spurca, because none of my breeding projects worked out. As soon as I can get enough money to buy more species, I'll definitely have more for sale and trade, but I have to wait for my breeding projects to work out. I'm working on ghosts now.

Cool. Do you happen to know what a slipped molt is? Not like falling though. Also my female ghost has been living with a S.Limbata for a week now with no problems!

So, one of the violins that I raised from the ooth just molted to adult!

Also, after months of trying, I got a nice hatch (30!) of baby ghosties!!!

I got creos, which will be adult soon, and I finally got a gal for my african twig boys. The males will be molting to adult soon, and then I should be able to mate them. 

Lots more is happening, but those are the most exciting things lately!

Sorry it's not all one continuous post, for some reason it won't let me upload more than one or two pictures at a time.

I'd also like to mention that I took these pictures with a piece of paper for a background, using the camera on my phone. I edited them a bit, and they turned out great! It's not hard to do.
