New Mantis

[30mini]

Got a new mantis today!!! He looks great! Really nice coloring on him!!

Well, he is now in his new home, and hasn't really moved that much. He has pretty much stayed in one place for the time being. Will he just get used to his surroundings, and build a burrow, and then be normal? Is he just getting used to his surroundings? Any help is appreciated!!

beautiful mantis!!

where did you find it? ...also, how big is it? seems ~3-4'' long?

Closer to 6"! I got him from a real small LFS here in Cincy. www.littleshopofcorals.com is his website! His site isn't fully done, but you can always email him! He has a REALLY nice L.Maculata that he is looking to sell!

His username on here is LSOC... Send him a PM and tell him that I sent you his way!

Loving the name Walter.
In a weird way it makes me think of Nitro in Down Parascope, trying on "Mike" as a nick name.

I actually got the name from a comedian/vantriliquist. His name is Jeff Dunham, check out his website www.onastick.com and look at the clips with Walter in them!! FUNNY AS HECK!!!!

How apprapoe.
If you had mentioned Peanut i would have known. But Walter is a trip also.

 

[30mini]

Haha!! I went and saw him here in Cincy a couple weeks ago, and sat in the front row, and got made fun of... A BLAST... and my wife found that Walter would be an appropriate name for the little guy

 

[LSOC]

hes looking good dude!

Thank you!!! He is eating good too... I bought three golfball sized turbos on Friday, and he finished the last one off on Monday morning at about 7... heard him beating the snot out of it while getting ready for work
