Hey guys! Does anyone have experience keeping stick insects? Specifically McLeay's Spectres... Any info or just expression if mutual interest would be lovely!

Oh my gosh, are those yours? They're gorgeous. I'm afraid I don't have any experience, but I do admire them. :)

I wish they were mine! I worked with them over the summer so I became quite addicted. Would love to start raising them if I can :D

I love them too, they're very fascinating. Unfortunatly they're also illegal. I believe that any stick insect that is not native to the US is illegal due to their potential to become agricultural pests. Which really bites because there are some really pretty ones out there.

Ummmm.....I thinnk i've seen them at my pet shop in the past.....

One of the reasons why I figured its better to ask first rather than pay later ^__^ thanks for the info I will definitely look into it further because that seems pretty likely
