Mantis looking for good home

[gregt]

I have a small mantis (around 2 - 2.5") that came in a piece of gorgonia I collected in the keys this weekend and I'm willing to ship if you are willing to pay for it - oh and tell me how to ship it safely.

I'm not a mantis afficianado, so I have no idea if this is a "desirable" one or not....

Let me know soon if you are interested, I don't plan on keeping him around long.

Description please?If it's from the keys there's a good chance it's the one I've been hunting for.

Hey Mantis Shrimp,

What kind of smasher is that in your signature?? It is gorgeous!

Good pics..but I need a side or bottom picture to properly identify.
I need a picture that will show the appendages near the head.

 

[gregt]

Ok, take another look. Got some side and bottom pics.

Is it still available?

 

[gregt]

Yes, it is so far unclaimed.

 

[gregt]

Still looking for an owner....

 

[Isis]

How much would it cost to ship a mantis??

 

[dc]

If you haven't got rid of it send it to me!

 

[gregt]

Debi,

It is still available, and in fact I now have two!!!! The second is smaller and has not been caught yet.

I still owe you a shipment of Xenia too, if you want to combine the two. Drop me an email.

 

[Shia]

I would be really interested, since my last one was playing with the powerhead in his tank and ended up being sucked in to bad I was at work when it happened maybe I could have got him out it time.

 

[gregt]

They are both still available, as I haven't gotten definite commitment from anyone yet.

 

[lemurgirl13]

I will take him

I will take him

I would love to have him. Email me with shipping cost. I live in Allen, TX 75002. My email is Lemurgirl13@yahoo.com. We have have a twenty gallon acrylic that would give him a good home.

 

[Shia]

YGM with my address, could you tell me how much the shipping would be?

 

[Shia]

Im sorry but my email account is not working for some resaon, so could you just pm me the cost for shipping

 

[dc]

Sent you an email!

 

[dc]

So, did anyone decide what kind he was????

 

[gregt]

Thanks for the info regarding shipping. It went very well.

Nobody wants to help Debi ID this guy?

PS> I still haven't caught the other one yet.
