Well I woke up this morning to my European Mantis (Mantis religiosa.... is that right?) hatching. There is about 30 of them right now. They all look great. My Tenodera aridifolia sinensis still hasn’t hatched. I was surprised that the Europeans came out so fast. I got the ooth like 3 days ago :roll: Well wish me luck cause I still have no idea what I am doing. I’d take pictures of the cute little guys but my camera sucks.

Right on! Im so jealous, My Religiosa laid 5 or so ooths but none of them hatched.

Where are you at? If you plan on selling any of them can I be on the list ? lol that was my Favorite species last year.

Congratulations! You have stuff to feed them, right?

Ya, I work at a reptile store so I get all my food and supplies for almost free. This is just the first time that i've done mantids. I live in San Diego, CA. I am not sure if my boss wants to buy them or what. If I end up selling them you will be on the top of the list. I'm not sure how you ship these :shock:

That's awesome. You guys should put them on display to fascinate visitors. They'll probably buy them too.

Probably nothing. These don't seem to do well. I had an ooth that hatched and I have one left now at L4.
