Peacock is doing OK but still hasn't molted. Going on 20 days so it should be any time now.
Sure, here is a photo from Saturday. Unfortunately, we woke up this morning and he had passed away. I am not sure what the cause was since he was fed and humidity and temperature were within the recommended range. Possibly the stress of being handled for feeding? We only had him for about a week, but we enjoyed watching him. I;m sure our inexperience didn't do him any favors, but we gave it our best shot. Here he is after the mismolt enjoying a fly. It might just be the way this type is, but he always seemed clumsy, even before the mismolt. We often found him trying to climb the one side of the enclosure with smooth acrylic (the other three sides and top had mesh and sticks), resulting in him falling to the substrate and having to climb back up. He would tap his feet multiple times before taking a step as well.
Idolomantis Diabolica 
Unfortunately the Idolos has a super hard time gripping things even when they are all fully functional. Heavily barked branches help. I went far enough to wrap paper towels around some branches. Not the most agile of species.
Thanks. We glued barked sticks to the lid closely spaced together to give him the best shot at gripping but I believe he was struggling too much with his raptorials getting caught up in his other legs. It is very strange to me how one of the largest and most aggressive looking species is also the most fragile and clumsy. We don't intend to try any more advanced species until we have some more experience under our belt.
We were getting pretty worried so we tried the trick of cutting a meal worm and putting it to his mouth. He took it and is happily eating. I hope he is not picky like this all the time. We figured that giving him plenty of time to hunt and even be hand fed would work, but I guess he needed to taste it. This means he won't be molting for a little while I guess.
