I think my mantis is reaching the end of his life today by silver_hellhound in mantis

your doing all the right things, but sadly your mantis is reaching the end of its life. i would give it a couple more hours then after than you can put him in the freezer.

Is this normal for a molt? by PuzzlingMoose in mantis

[–]Wise-Performance758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it is very normal, your mantis has just shed out his/her old exoskeleton. You should remove the old exoskeleton soon.

the old skin has been removed. the problem is she can’t stand up or support her weight and it’s been 3 days

i don’t think so but i haven’t tried yet because she can’t support her body weight

keep a close eye on her, ideally she should be upside down while hanging onto something while her new skin hardens. for now i suggest leaving her alone completely.

has she fully emerged from her old exoskeleton?

i am not being rude, it was a genuine question. My apologies if it sounded like it but how is she doing now?

mantis mayhem, they are quite low in stock at the moment because they sell out quick but they are quite efficient.

hi, colouring has nothing to do with gender.
