Mantis Help

[Docbones]

Ok i went out of town Tueday morning and got home early Wed. morning and noticed my Mantis had cloes up the entrance to his burrow for the first time since ive had him, about 2 months. A little while ago he poked his head out and he has gone from a fairly dark green to almost a bleached white.

Is this molting?

Shell disease?

I checked my water and everything tests great. any help would be appreciated.

Sorry cant post a pic but dont have a camera at the moment.

I think he molted.
After molting the animals are very careful and stay in the burrow, because the new body is not yet hard enough. This will take a few days.
I think there is no problem with your mantis.
