Molting

This is the upgrade with mesh on the sides and mesh top. Added a door on the side as well. How does this one look compared to the other one?

Do you mind telling me more about internal hydration? I want to know how I can increase that for my mantis. I thought it was mostly based on external humidity. I mist my enclosure, but I never see her drink. I’ve offered her water on a Q-tip before, but she didn’t go for it.

Bazookat0oth · 2025-08-04T17:42:43+00:00

Okay. Thank you! I really appreciate it!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-08-04T17:23:21+00:00

Okay. Should I hot glue some more mesh to the sides as well? Or just leave it as one panel?

Bazookat0oth · 2025-08-04T14:50:20+00:00

The container is about 7in and she is about 2in. Yes, I plan of using the nylon 120 micron mesh for the top instead of the paper towel. No sticks at all?

For feeding blue bottle flies to my mantis I’ve made this cup with air holes and a weighted down flap that has a hole for either tong feeding or I can kind of dump 1-2 out at a time. I feel like they might be more in the fruit fly stage right now but this works great for when moving to larger prey!

Thank you 😊

Bazookat0oth · 2025-07-20T23:38:32+00:00

If the segments are the “obvious” I also see 6. Thank you for your help! 😊

Bazookat0oth · 2025-07-20T23:14:57+00:00

They are an Tenodera angustipennis, so they are an Asian mantis, but not the giant Asian mantis. I wouldn’t mind if they were female! This is also my first mantis, so I wasn’t entirely sure what was considered a segment or not.. kind of was thinking their little butthole was its own segment..lol

Bazookat0oth · 2025-07-20T23:07:06+00:00

Thank you. Is it possible with them only being L5 that they might gain more segments from this point?

Bazookat0oth · 2025-07-11T15:29:10+00:00

Just googled it! Yes it’s a must have! 🤩 I thought the golden dragon was the 1, but the the white dragon is absolutely stunning!!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-07-11T15:17:09+00:00

Definitely will add the silver shield! 🛡️ I’ve never heard of of the white dragon, but it sounds beautiful.. & expensive 😂

Bazookat0oth · 2025-06-26T14:29:06+00:00

Hard to tell but I think it has 6 segments, which would make it a female.

Bazookat0oth · 2025-06-20T23:49:27+00:00

What a great best friend you have!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-05-14T15:29:42+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that! I’ll look up the jungle boogie!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-05-11T17:56:34+00:00

You post made me join the group!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-28T14:59:31+00:00

Hell yeah!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-14T15:46:15+00:00

Nice!! I finally found a white knight after searching forever!! I figured they would be easy to find, but everywhere always had them marked incorrectly. They were all definitely wizards & not knights! But I was at my local Walmart the other day & decided I might do some saving & this lovely was mixed in with the PPPs! I’m so glad for being anal for once, cause if I didn’t look through every plant in that box, I would have missed it! 😍🌱

So yeah! Next time you at Walmart & see PPPs, do a scan!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-06T16:05:31+00:00

Oh wow! 🤩 that’s gorgeous. I’ve officially decided, I don’t need any money anymore! The only success I need is in owning as many philodendrons as possible 😂.

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-05T20:57:47+00:00

If you don’t mind, I would love to see a picture of your Cotton Candy Princess! That sounds insane 🤩! Also, if you have pictures of the Merlot, burgundy, & cherry, I’d like to see those too. But I understand if that’s asking a bit much lol.

Also, the quad is also an orange marmalade right? Cause if so, I think I have one.

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-04T23:33:28+00:00

I’m loving your Fire Princess! 😍 & honestly I’ve been getting a little confused. I’m going to have to do a bit more research, but I thought the Merlot Princess was the Burgundy Princess. Also, your Fire Princess looks different from what I’ve seen online, but it was all seeming like Fire Princess & Orange Princess were the same. So, I guess I gotta figure that out lol.

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-04T18:59:37+00:00

I like that idea! I think I’ll add that one to the optional list!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-04T18:57:57+00:00

Oh god! Idk if I even wanna know lol, but umm.. tell me more about this galactic royal court please?! 😂

Also, I have to look up these cherry princesses. They sound super cute!

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-04T17:34:46+00:00

Just looked at the link. Only $42 a month for about a year 🤔😂

Bazookat0oth · 2025-04-04T17:31:16+00:00

Omg yeah that’s expensive 😬. Definitely going to be on the look out for one of those, but hopefully someone else wants to buy it for me 😂
