    saying hello to a very weak and dehydrated mantis. In 97 degree weather I think the mantis will enjoy being indoors and having as many crickets as it wants

    Most spiders would freak people out. It took me awhile to get used to spiders and snakes. My tarantula was sweet and never bit me or tried to throw her hairs at me.

    Your dad will enjoy the bike.

    I have always been interested in spiders but just can't get myself to reach in and pick one up. if handed it I am fine but can't myself to pick it out of tank myself.

    Snakes and lizards on the other were my initial passion and will someday have more snakes once I can get my spouse to agree.

    Cool mantis! What kind of housing do they like?

    I have been told they like to climb so I put her in a ten gallon with lots of pothos. the only bummer is she got to lazy to go down and hunt her food so I put her back into a large cricket keeper and she is starting to eat again. I ended up turning the ten gallon into a cricket hatchery

    It took me awhile to warm up to spiders and snakes. with spiders they give signs before they bite, depending on the species. With snakes all you have to do is tap them on the head with a snake stick before you pick them up to break their feeding response. some idiot that worked at the pet store forgot that part and got attacked by the beautiful albino burmese python

    Love them both, beautiful animals. I'm a fan of spiders, snakes and mantises but the husband has to draw the line somewhere (he is absolutely terrified of snakes and closely followed by spiders.) Hope the mantis fully recovers

    I found this mantis at my work and was able to save her from the pesticides. last week we had the pest company spray at my work again and I found another mantis that was weak. unfortunately this one had too much exposure to the pesticide. the pesticide they use isnt the kind that makes them infertile, it is the kind that shuts off their brain(or circulatory system?) so the poor lady mantis was having seizures.
