[QUOTE="hysteresis, post: 335455, member: 11064"] Yes. I recently had to cut back an orchid's wing, otherwise there was zero way the male could gain access. You've gotta be quick. You'll have no more than a couple of minutes.... Don't cut into her naughty bits. LOL! Credit for instruction: Ian A Hunter of Mantis Keepers. [LIST][*]I chilled her in the freezer for 90 secs. Quite the stunner, I tell ya. [*]I lightly swabbed down the 'site' with hydrogen peroxide. [*]I made my cuts using sterile SST surgical scissors. [*]Quick dab at the incision site with peroxide. [*]Let her come to. [/LIST] [URL="https://www.facebook.com/groups/MantisKeepers/permalink/2456977631189702/"]https://www.facebook.com/groups/MantisKeepers/permalink/2456977631189702/[/URL] Has she mated? Yes. Three times now. Has she produced? No, she hasn't produced yet. I am again re configuring her pad. Shes a sketchy one (was to begin with). [/QUOTE]
