Ummm...MOLT...

[Nightowl007]

So...one of my mantids molted...idk wat to do now...do I feed him? Wait so how did it happen? And when??!?!? I don’t understand!?!? I didn’t do anything except feed and keep his enclosure moist enough...that’s all I did...

 

[agent A]

give him like 4 days, then feed. pseudocreos dont give much warning of molts or need much humidity to molt. he's fine

 

[Nightowl007]

Phew, ok. I do need to log his molt date right? I didn’t see him while he was molting or like starting to so Idk when he’d molt. Thank u for the reply

It looks like he molted about a half an hour to forty-five minutes or so before the picture was taken. He is a beautiful adult male. Congratulations!
