[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 344896, member: 6680"] Now I know coloration is a topic that can be debated over and over, but I have a more specific question. This is for my orchid breeders out there. A couple questions: Do you all notice maybe a direct connection between humidity and the presence of pink in your mantis? Will orchids get more pink right before a molt? I ask because I have a female that had a little pink in the legs and a little on her abdomen when I got her. Her head, thorax, and striking legs are now turning pink and her abdomen is getting more and more pink. Things that I’ve done to encourage color change: 1. Put her on a pink/purple orchid as her home 2. Whenever I shower, I bring her to the bathroom to enjoy the humidity spike 3. Mist her everyday. 4. Make sure whenever she is in her enclosure, the humidity is high and warm any thoughts would be great! -mino [/QUOTE]
