To much bling
Click to expand...

I'd of added more, have you never seen them Gangster/Pimps all blinged up....O.O...you can barely look at them during the day cause of the reflection from all their bling xD...

If the Photo had more height I was going to add a tilting crown on his eyes xD.
 
Watch Minnie go around Dominating the will of both Crab & Stomatopod ;)...

Omg that has porn, violence, baby's running rampet, and gang style drive bye at the end it was like visiting any major city ghetto. I love that last video!
 
Yeah hers took the longest so far from the most recent vids, mostly because of the music I chose...so fast paced etc. I had to really find footage that could/would suit it...

But I like it in the end and I think the title is a bit of a laugh :D.
 
PART 3 of the growing Trailers based on the Stomatopods :)

I'd love to see some videos of the personalities of your various mantis beyond just their ability to predate other critters. Obviously, this is the exciting aspect of stomatopods, and you have a really wide selection of species that might otherwise be difficult for many of us to acquire. My biggest interest in mantis shrimp is their personalities. As you know, some species can be extremely personable. I'd love to see some footage of them just being goofy stomatopods.

The next video I plan on doing is a 101 type thing...this video started off as a "Why" but then ended once again in my passion for their predation pritty much loosing all point of it's first half.

Basically the video asked a question and did NOT answer it.
 
You need to do some videos like I'm doing. Hands-on with mantis shrimp. Do you have any with the personality that will take being touched or interacted with without destroying your hands?

As of right now...no...all my Stomatopods will attack on sight the ones in displays, they have even learned to forget the tweezers and target what is holding them! Those not in Displays are not only to difficult to film but very reclusive....
 
Went on a large Ric hunt today :) and came up with the largest haul yet...

3x Premium Ultra Grades (2 of them large +2inch Dia).
+50x Standard Grades (Some large +2inch some smaller but none smaller then 1inch dia).

Was a pritty penny in the end but I managed to now finish the base of Nicoles Ric compartment, you cannot see the base just Ric o.O....

And the wall itself now has 7 Ultra Premium Grade Ric's on it, 2 quite large :)

1 of the large Ultra Premium Ric's purchased today is a super bright fluro hot pink! :D
 
Ric's Purchased today and the completion of the base to Nicoles compartment...in short no more Standard Quality Ric's, the wall has plenty room for Ultra Premiums :).






I really gutted the store and left the owner with a big smile on his face, he is a mate of mine and was the one who got me both Shockwave & The Juggernaut.

There is 1 large Ultra Premium not pictured cause it is still adjusting but it is really nice, same size as the bright hot pink one :).
 
Ironically the store owner was more concerned about loosing all of his Forest Fire Rhods too me...more so then his Ultra Premium Rics...even though he is having some sellers guilt now I think...still I managed to get 1 of the at least dozen Forest Fires he had :)...

Might be getting 6 more very soon.

What are you feeding the rics? I ask more because it seems a mantis is well equipt to rip a ric apart for the food.

Not if your smart and give the Stomatopod something to eat first to make them preoccupied.... :)

Having said that I feed the Ric's micro foods the largest physical things is the lobster eggs and the stomatopods cannot grab for these :).
