Jwin's new mantis

very exciting! congrats on the new mantis!

 

oh bull. lol but i do agree inwall is VERY knowledge able in mantis shrimps.

 

All I know is that if it is in fact an O. Havanensis I officially hate you... j/k... kind of...

 

You're insane! 15 is pushin it for me haha

 

Well they're 19 hours of Gen Ed classes...so most are easy

And stepho, you can really hate me when you hear I got it totally free

 

Nice!!!

 

It is too an inch long! Do I need to get out my wooden ruler and beat you with it? Like in the old days? Eh? Oh wait, that was a wooden spoon.....never mind. ;D

Ask him about getting thrown out of history class because of texting....:

YOU got it for free??? Excuse me - who took time out of her busy schedule to drive across town and pick up your 1 inch long mantis while YOU were rock climbing???? Huh????

 

lol, wait til you get home jwin. mommas breakin out the spoon for you.............again. lol.

 

Ok so you spent roughly $1-$2 dollars on gas. That's darn near free if you ask me. No taxes either And if that thing is one inch long, I'll eat Bo. He's tiny! I'd put him at 3/4" at best. You should have measured him.

And this little guy is tough to find. Being so small doesn't help, but the mottled brown/white coloration doesn't help either I got a glimpse of him this morning trying to get a positive ID on him being an O. Havanensis or not, but he doesn't hold still. He's like a 2 year old, you couldn't get him to hold still if you tried. SO i'll have to wait a bit. And of course, he's left the rock he slept in last night (the rock that was away from the other aquascape so I could see him easier), so there's no telling where he's at now. Maybe he'll poke out at feeding time But like I said, he's so small you really have to look to find him. I can't wait for him to get bigger

 

no name yet? guess tough not knowin the sex. pat's generic.
