The little guys (or gals) are doing great! Got them from GlassDoor November 28. They are Indonesian double shield mantids. They have each molted five times. Possible they molted once before I got them. They are around four months old. One's slightly larger than the other and I have no idea of sex.

They are super cool. Can't wait to start feeding them something besides stupid crickets!

Sorry for the delay, but cute pictures!  If you can get pictures of the undersides of the abdomens, it should be possible to sex them now, if you want to know.

 
Thing2's abdomen is starting to flatten out. I kinda miss the cute, curled up, ready-to-fight look! :)

I'll get more pics soon. I do not have plans to breed if I do indeed have a pair. In fact, my friend might be taking one as a pet this summer.
