possible trade: L. maculata for O. scyllarus

[word]

i have this mantis and may be interested in trading for an O. scyllarus or other decent sized mantis. i have had this one for over a year and he is in good health and has molted several times. he is about 7-8 inches i'm guessing. i live near green bay wisconsin and will travel as far as madison or milwaukee but i will probably not ship due to size.

sorry i can't offer to trade, but i'd just like to comment that this mantis looks amazing!! good luck with the trade

sorry i dont have a trade, just wanted to know what set up youve been keeping him in?

Where did you get him?

 

[word]

i keep him in a 10 gallon hex tank with live rock and a power filter with no media in it. there is a chocolate chip starfish in there with him.

i got him at an aquaria shop in milwaukee. can't remember the place but they regularly have O. scyllarus in stock.

I remember him! Glad to see he is still doing fine. I tend to question inverts that come out of that bait shop you bought it from. I might be interested in just buying, but after the holidays.
Then you can just go back and get a peacock...much more active.

Why getting rid of it? Not as active as you expected? That species tends to hide alot.

Well, I tried to link a pic of my mantis, on here, but it didnt work. I left you my email and my AOL IM screen name in one of my PMs to you. Contact me through one of those for the pic.

He's a healthy 6" male...living with a Dwarf Lion, and a Vanuatua Yellow Belly Dog Faced Puffer.

I left you my cell number in the PM I sent you. When you get back in town, give me a call and we'll set up the trade.
