[QUOTE="The Wolven, post: 346229, member: 12740"] Okk so that is concerning. However, we need to know more about your set up as well. How often does she eat? What is the exact temperature she is kept at? Knowing the rough percentage of humidity would help too. Orchids do grow slowly at room temperature and it's possible that your heat set up is not adequate for the rate you're expecting. Granted she should have molted by now, room temp or not since she is so young. She could have what some have called Peter Pan syndrome where a mantis just stops molting and eventually dies. Granted this is unlikely. Could you send some pictures as well? She may be older than you think. [/QUOTE]
