Tarachodes, sp for sale

[ABbuggin]

I just had a boat load hatch out (50+). I am lowering my price so I dont get swamped with them (as I have several ooths incubating). :lol: I'm asking $10 each, but if you buy 5 I'll toss in 2 freebies.

Thanks,

AB

Forgot to mention, I'll make sure they will be L2 before I ship.

Edit: I'll sell ooths upon request.

I just remembered to say, that these mantids will "hug" a stick to hide, and if they feel frightened, they will "roll" to the other side of the stick! They are extremely camouflaged, and are my favorite sp. of mantid. Here are some pics: (not mine)

These guys are VERY aggressive towards prey, but can be kept together if ample space/food is provided.

 

[ABbuggin]

hmmmm is nobody interested anymore? I thought these guys were popular as I sold out fairly quickly the last 2-3 times.

 

[ABbuggin]

Some are sold, but I still have 20 or so left (plus I have a 70+ nymph and a 30+ ooths incubaitng :blink: )

I'm also willing to sell some ooths if anybody is interested.

 

[ABbuggin]

Ok, I need to get rid of what I have left, they are $5 each now.

 

[acerbity]

What is their size when adult?

 

[ABbuggin]

Around 2 inches. They are VERY aggressive towards prey though for their size. :lol:

Is there a common name for this sp.?

Not really, they are pretty rare. :lol: When I don't feel like saying Tarachodes, I just say Gambian Bark Mantis. :lol:

I just had a 70+ nymph ooth hatch. So now I have lots of babies. :lol:

The nymphs are still $5 ea. and 7 for $35. B)

I was thinking you meant to say seven for a reason is there supposed to be a price break or is it just a joke cuz 7X5 is 35

oops, I meant 7 for $25 :lol:

I will also discount even more for large quantity orders.

 

[ABbuggin]

50 nymphs of the 70 are sold.

My massive ooth that hatched yesterday, hatched out some more! I've had well over 100 nymphs hatch out so there are plenty to go around.

Please make sure you get another generation. I would like to buy them later on after I get my giant asian ooth.

Trust me, I plan to, this is my 3rd generation with this species, and one of my favorites.

 

[collinchang635]

Are they very active? Do they run and jump around a lot?

 

[ABbuggin]

Not unless its time to feed them. Normally, when you walk into the room they just "spin" to the other side of the stick to avoid being seen! :lol: But they are much more active when you hold them.
