So I've been left with 3 left living and thriving mantids, 2 makes and a female from the looks. Def a long process!

Yeah I had a culture to start but they ran threw the entire thing within 2 days, My work schedule prevented me from getting any more quickly and shipping some woulda been longer so. Learning experience!

Ok update time: I lost pretty much all of them in the main tub. These guys eat like no tomorrow on fruit flies! Highly suggested to have several cultures on hand! I did not , so between canabslism and whatever dident end well for them. So far I've been threw 4 cultures. The 8 I've seperated...

yeah they are pretty awesome. even being the pin head size currently. hopefully i can get a few more containers and save a few more. i assume there not an invasive species? if i can get a few full grown i was thinking of releasing a few in my back yard.

I got it back in I belive March sometime from an order from nick. I put it in the fridge to keep them from hatching (diapause). From taking them out of the fridge until hatching was about 3 weeks. I kept them next to my chameleons heat lamp. 80 degreees is ideal to get things going. I...

I just had my ooth hatch about 2 days ago, I had to rush out to get fruit flies for food. A bunch have died already for some reason But I plan on separating them within the next day or so into separate containers. I must have about 100

Yeah my guy runs from the hand held mist and avoids the fogger

Could be several reasons from what I've gathered. He could be trying to regulate heat , drink or be territorial I've seen my panther leave his mouth open while basking, and also a few times when he wants out he has crawled up the front of the cage , and shakes back and fourth with his mouth...

Woof that sounds like a bad time, glad your feeling better and hopefully figure out what triggered the episode!

Awsome lil dude, hope you feel better !

Crickets are my main feeder, He won't touch dubias at all for some reason. Horn worms I feed on occasion and that's his favorite it seems. I've got a Chinese mantis ooth I'm working on hatching as well to switch things up a bit.

I kept mine inside for a few months over winter when I first got it, Then moved in onto my porch for summer in in direct natural light where it flourished pretty good! It def kept the flies away ( I'd always find the exoskeletons left behind after digestion) Gnats might be a hard sell for...

I forget where I got my fly trap But I've seen them lately in home depo. You could prob order them online as well. There pretty basic from what I know. One biggie is that I repotted mine in blend of one-third sand and two-thirds sphagnum peat moss. They live in nutrient deficient , acidic...

These plants are actually really cool to have. I had a few Venus fly traps and a pitcher before I had a chameleon. I live in the north east and winters suck on everything lol. Between it being winter and trying to split one off for a buddy it became to weak and died off. Wish there was a...

Not trying to be rude, but this is a forum correct? (a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.) So no harm / no foul in asking questions to further educate myself or others on the subject. I do in fact understand their nature To be solitary. I...

Great shots!
