Well he looked really good. Meller's are extremely hard to sex from what I understand so you may not know for a while. Be sure and get him to a vet for a fecal though. All wild caught animals need it.
Julirs my heart was breaking looking at these guys. They had another Meller's at another booth, some Jackson's and Veileds that look ok but these guys are in really bad shape. I will never understand why people do this and then to say "well I don't know why they packed it" instead of oh my let...
This is what I came back with from the expo in OH. They are all rescues in my opinion. I also bought 2 24x24x48 screened cages for $75 and 600 crickets lol. Oh and a female Graceful who is healthy as can be to go with my male.
I will post each ones story with the pics below. If you see anything...

And thank you Julirs!
I just wanted everyone to know that my little guy passed away tonight while I was at work. He had gotten pretty bad over the last few days. I feel so bad that I wasn't able to save him :( I really don't know what else to say, I'm heart broken.
Not sure if this counts but I just redid Chad's banner for Tiki Tiki Reptiles. You can see it on the sponsor page HERE
I've been trying to come up with a cham designer in Photoshop but it's still a ways off :)
I know right lol! I can't find any for sale but I would love to have one! They are also called the #9 Mantis. If you guys find any please let me know! Mantis Place is sold out of them.
