Mantis available (DC Metro area)

[Bear-E]

I randomly found the source of the clicking noises that have been happening over the last couple of months (here i was thinking it was my PC retro kit). I was poking around in the dark with a flashlight on the tank and saw the two stalked eyes in a hole in an easily accessible rock. I nabbed the rock and its in a bucket.

Since I don't have another tank to keep him in, once i get him out tommorrow morning (sunday, easter), anyone who wants to come get him, he's yours. I understand that its easter and people will be busy tommorrow, so i'll try to keep him in the bucket with a powerhead or something for a while.

Email me at barryo11@hotmail.com.

Thanks,
Barry

Hi Dell, if you are looking for another or the other did not work out. i have a soon to be homeless one.

Let me know if he doesn't take it cause I will.

 

[StephenInVa]

Still have it?

 

[Rebecca and Anastasi]

Yes I do. Others have responded but no one has followed through with specific details. I am keeping the bugger in a not so great holding tank. He is still active and eating but for him to survive a trip it needs to be done immediately. I hope all will understand that I am trying to do the best thing for the creature. So the first response I get with details of method and shipping address gets the big bad killing machine.

Hello mantis keepers: I still have no home for our mantis. Anyone still interested????

 

[ReneX]

Yes, I am possibly interested! I thought he'd gone already. Two questions for you: what color and about how big? I'm looking for something small. And if things fall through online and you feel bad about killing it, try giving it to your LFS.

 

[Rebecca and Anastasi]

Sorry ReneX, we do have a home now. Ours would probably be too big for you. Now I just have to figuare out a good way to ship him (container, etc.). Any suggestions please jump in... Thanks

 

[ReneX]

Least it has a good home And two people just posted tips on shipping them, so that should help.

 

[Rebecca and Anastasi]

Yes it will and I would expect nothing less from reef central members. thanks
