[QUOTE="brytewolf, post: 346070, member: 12859"] Oh no your poor pretzel mantis! I didn't realize his wonky arm could be that much of an issue, I hope he turns out okay! I did manage to get a picture of him, but it's blurry cause my camera was focusing on the reflections on the glass instead of him. But you can still see what angle he's holding the arm at. After I made this post, my boyfriend and I did observe him moving both of his arms around so it may not be as bad as I thought initially. I don't know if he was still in the process of hardening after the molt, or what. He still doesn't seem able to tuck it into his body completely, however, it's just not at as extreme an angle as here in the picture. I'm going to try and feed them tonight, I'll have fruit flies available. I'm getting house fly larva in today, but they'll need a few days to pop out before I can begin feeding those. I'll try seeing how he catches one of the fruit flies, cause as I said he does still have one functioning arm. If not, I'll try the juicy fly bits trick, thank you! Edit: my boyfriend was able to get a better picture of the little guy after the sun came up. Sexing assistance would also be appreciated, if possible xD I think this one's a female??? [/QUOTE]
