Hello Ryan and welcome to the forum

Looks like you live in a good location to do some mantis or other pet searching in the wild; although this time of year likely mainly ooths (ootheca). Of course others like tarantulas, scorpions, geckos, and such can be found still if that interests you as well (many of us keep small zoos).

Mantid wise you may even find the Texas Unicorn (Phyllovates chlorophaea) but they tend to be way south in Brownsville, TX (but much closer than me ).

I'm curious if you don't mind sharing, what kind of shop do you run?

Nope, looks like we spell our names differently.

Okay, nice I found your site online. I found out who Walter was, and about your Jungle Room (sounds interesting).
