Molting mantis!

The first hello i've gotten in a long time


His mean hands. haha


Trying to get him to come out of his burrow to get a full shot. Using a feeding stick. If i put it in front of him he'll come after it.


Trying to get a shot of the tail.


Almost full body


Tail again

 

less talk more pics... he is pretty cool!!

 

Two great shots...

 

cool

 

thats awesome

 

Yeah. I'm impressed on the color change after the molt. I wish i had before and after pics

 

That is sickkkkkkk man i want one now holy cow hes cool

 

Yeah he's pretty awesome. I know that alot of people call peacock's thumbsplitters. But I've also learned that they learn to recognize their master's or recognize people in general. So i think he know's who i am now. I just rearranged the rock formation in my tank for him. Its good to every so often so he has to dig it out again. Good recreation for him. Anyhow, in this process he found one of the turbo snails i have discreetly been putting in there on TOP of the rock to clean it. He found one and started beating it and i took it from him with my hands, and he didn't kill me. I then managed to pet him which yes, i know is crazy, but was awesome at the same time. i think he knows who i am. Kinda exciting.

 

holy That thing is crazy

 

thats really cool. how did you get him and how much did he cost you? i bet that would cost a ton where i live. :/
