    I dont think it can be that stressful, but sure it is easier for me to keep them in the tube. I usually hang them upside down in the water and they climb out on their own usually, just takes some time. but I can leave it intact. I worry about decay in shipping, but I have shipped a few and they do well. All without tubes so this will be a good learning experience.

    ok I will add it in tomorrow, let me know how it goes. I am just going to double check your zip availability for next day. Shame I saw a mantis this weekend, I just dont like having them around, but for a day or two...

    i know this is kind of off topic, but just wanted to say thanks, and my CuC order i got a few weeks ago is working out great. will hopefully be coming back for more when i upgrade to a 90 in a few weeks
