    New pet of another kind.
    My new friend, long story short my husband was blowing leaves out of the driveway and found this Mantid, it was cold he felt sorry and picked it up and brought it to me :rolleyes:………………..so now I have a new pet, in my snake room doing great and eating Dubias.

    Mantids are so adorable in a weird sci-fi way and the way the move is really cool to watch. I wish they lived longer. Very cool photos!

    No, I think they are cool, they have always fascinated me but there are no plans on starting breed Mantids, I would love to own a Orchid Mantid one day but again no breeding plan there either, I am busy enough breeding BP, Hognose, and Honduran Milksnakes. ;)

    Just offering room and board to my new friend during the winter.

    Cool good for him and you. Now he or she gets to stay warm for the winter. Heck you probably saved its life. I recently got in to invertebrates. I just picked up a pink toe tarantula which i'll post pics of some time.

    Your mantid has something to be thankful for! Your husband’s a real sweety.
