there prices are outrageous...$89 for a chiragra....when I use to have my online mantis store i would sell them for like $30 and only pay like $10-15 from my wholesaler.. and $95 for a large peacock? larger should be cheaper since they have less of a life span at that point IMO.

Yeah, BoB is kinda expensive but he is also the go to guy when it comes to something specific or rare. I also know he has very strict quarentine procedures (6-8 weeks for mantis) for all his livestock. I have even had him not sell me something before because he felt it wasnt up to his standards. He also sends pictures and videos of everything you would be interested in buying. Expensive yes, worth it? imo absolutely.

Try Tampa Bay Saltwater. Wennerae mantis to your door next day - $50. Not bad. Excellent customer service.

I do say I have to agree here. For N. Wennerae I dont think you can beat TBS. Plus they have a pretty good reputation online for thier mantis.
 
I wonder why these are going straight to wysiwyg. Are the people that have been on the email waiting list getting emails about these?
 
I haven't been getting email alerts when they go straight to WYSIWYG either. I got lucky and snagged a smithii thanks to noidsters thread about the G. Smithii for sale. Makes me wonder how many stomatopods I may have missed in the past years waiting for an email alert that never comes lol.

On a side note, that is a beautiful ciliata on the site. If I only had my 8 gallon up running at the moment lol.
 
No one is interested in this one? 3" L. malc? C'mon...if it's there still on Monday, I might pull the trigger. ;)

Coral Oasis in Costa Mesa,CA has 4 mantis shrimp in stock. Was just there today to get some salt.

They have 2 P.Ciliata. One is 3.5" or so and entirely green. Other is 2.5" or so and greenish brown with sand colored racing stripe. Both are $15.

Also 1 small green unidentified smasher for $15

And a 2.5"-3" L.mac for $20

I'm on the hunt for a Smithii.

Now I just need to be patient.

I am not succeeding at the patience thing.

If your wallet is bursting with cash, ibluewater has a Scyllarus and a Maculata.
