thats good! I havent touched mine to see if its fertile or not. I am just going to wait and see

did you get some mantids?

Sure thing! I have one up in the photo of the month as well if you haven't seen it!

my momma mantis just laid her sack last night. she did a perfect job!

He was quite the clingy fellow. My current frog sticks, but she's rather hop out of my hands or land on the floor, or the wall,or the toilet, or my face...

thats very cool thanks for thinking of me, its cool how they are so different.

probably just keep it as a pet. we talked about puting my female and his male together to see if anything will happen. i told him there is a heavy chance his male may die in the process. I was reading that in the wild there is only a 30% of cannabalism if the female is hungry and that under the stressful environment of human activity will increase those chances.

she hasnt laid a sac yet and thank you for asking. she still eats a lot. my friend actually caught a male, but it seems that she would already be pregnant given this time of year. anyways, I do plan to leave the sac outside to give them that cooling period. it will be way too warm in my house in the winter and will confuse their growth.

hey I put some pic up in my album "I love my job" I think you would like (4 and 6 legged kind) check them out

I do plan to keep the egg sack inside during winter and then letting them hatch. it really depends if there will be enough aphids in the spring for them to be let go in my garden. if there are not enough aphids then I will feed them off of pinhead crickets or start a fruit fly culture until they are bigger.
