Hi,
I presently keep Texas unicorns and Chinese mantids.
I've been keeping mantids continuously for a few decades and in the past kept ghosts for 9 consecutive generations, D.desiccata for 5 and many other species for multiple consecutive generations.
I used to do a bit of wholesale and if you've been around long you've probably had some of my offspring.
I wrote 80% of the keeping aliens handbook I published in 2001 and have written many mantis articles (TFH reptile and amphibian mag, Invertebrates-magazine, the Keeper) and provided mantis photos for some books.
I have been moderating the mantis board for a few years but never put my name on the list before for no real reason (unfortunately most days I barely have time to delete spammer accounts and spam messages and don't get a chance to enjoy the fun part of the board - I'm really glad Rick is here!).
