[QUOTE="hannahaubreep, post: 343808, member: 12531"] Hello all, I am new here and have a few questions about my Orchid Mantis (L2) that I received from USMantis 2 days ago. We also bought their bioactive kit enclosure from their site. (pics below) Since setting it all up, the first annoying issue has been the humidity levels. I was convinced that we would have a hard time keeping it humid enough being I'm in CO, but the hydrometer has been reading 80+, even 99% now. The mantis has really only been hanging from the top of the enclosure. Not moving a whole lot and we tried to feed it melangaster flies in which it was not interested and just hit them away. Another thing we noticed was that last night it was hanging from 2 legs. Is that normal? I have been hoping that this behavior is because it is readying to moult soon. But I am just getting more anxious as time goes by. Any advice would be appreciated!😊 Hannah [ATTACH]14176._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14177._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
