Indolomantis diabloica finally molted (dry for really bad picture but I'm not opening her) and I couldn't be happier

Worked day and night for those dudes to have perfect conditions

It's 1:10 and I was checking on them and HOLY SHIT we have it boys,after 4 weeks

Motivated more than ever cuz my work finally pays off and I see they are growing healthy

It's been hard to buy what's best for then and not starve myself but I see they are doing well,I'll leave her alone for 48 h just so she can harden

I prefer not to handle my mantises often but just look how huge she is.Raised her fron L2 and I'm so proud of her cuz she is my first mantis ever.So happy for her(sorry for blurry pic)

(She says hi to everyone)

My hierodula membranacea is an adult!!!

My patellifera is doing fine too...maybe not as much as her but doing fine.Since then I got a lot of info and applied it.And here it is,my first ever mantis became an adult.

There is a netting on top and I LITERALLY have put her onto the net so that she hangs upside down but she chose this spot anyway...oh well,at least she is ok

I did get finally paid and now I'm buying more heat lamps, terrariums and feeders.Got a friend that keeps spiders,lizards and mantises to see if they are doing fine.He did told me that I'm dumb for keeping one of the hardest mantises to keep as a newbie(devil's flower mantis),but he did admit that the conditions are met(I do 35°C 40% humid during the day and 23-22 at night with 70% humidity.)

We did make an agreement that if I can't keep track of this all I will give away them to him.(Since the mantises are from a mistery box ordered from exoterra I didn't expect them to accept a return) ((I know exoterra scam))

So far with the support and info from all the people here I'm positive that I'll be a better keeper.
