J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nice....I used to keep mantis's....amazing they are! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 This was one of the ones I had. Only tiny here, but they soon grow on a diet of flies. They are non-stop eating machines.....proper characters! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,866 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I kept a few different types myself but I don't think you can beat the bog standard green sphrodomantis types. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,866 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Easy to keep and brilliant for kids I'd say mate, miles better than stick insects . You can buy them on eBay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 What's deal with them, are they easy to keep? Any good for kids? Google the easiest types to keep. Some require specilaist housing and lighting. Do a read up on them first..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
