Thanks for watching ...

 
Thats a bigger tank than I thought from the pic you sent me lol. Great find for $50. I cant believe how small the snake mantids are.
Ya this one is bigger then the 12x12x12 ZooMed i have for mating i believe the new tank is 24x20x24. ... i got too many species turning to adult and i have 6-8 female per species ... so ..... i'll be busy doing a lot mating I'm pretty sure next mth or 2 I'll be starting to mate Hierodula majuscula and Popa spurca crassa haha.......

This actually made me laugh! (And i lose 12 lb doing it) No offence? Do you keep them all in one room (sorry if you already said that here, I did not read everything on this topic)?
