Actually I know a few people who prefer to keep either males or females. I only keep my female and have a person bring his male over. So the thing is the person with a female has to have the healthy female and the knowledge to raise the babies. Trust me it isn't easy. they incubate for 6-8...
I can say that in the world of genetics that line breeding can lead to some pretty nasty genetic defects. However that being said at this point you have to consider that the female he will keep has a pretty good chance of having 45-50% different genetics then the father. now once he re-breeds...
Oh WOW!!!! Loved it! Thanks with 19 fresh layed Ambilobe eggs this was an excellent guide with pictures to show someone how to candle an egg without moving it.
kudos!:D
Ok so due to the lack of anything besides crickets up here I am thinking about trying to raise some mantis for a different type of feeder. So how hard are they to raise?
For those of you who have had them what do you suggest?
Thanks all

Ok so I have a question. Has anyone every heard of a cleaner crew? I was surfing an insect supplier when I ran across a listing for a medium cleaner crew. They look like a very creepy caterpillar type thing. Their name is Dermestid Beatles. Does anyone have any experience with these things? What...
Ok, I want to breed my ambi female in the next month or two. I am looking for someone willing to stud out their male. I am also looking to eventually buy a male, but I prefer the high red males. Hope someone out there has the right little ( or big) guy. No rush on buying a male, I'm willing to...
Hey Reefer! I kinda thought you knew too much about them to be a overnighter! LOL I'm glad to see you on here, but sorry to "meet" your screen name like this.
I sent this over to the owner.. I don't know if they are the same but apparently one of his little females has a particular marking that he has pictures of that will help to ID her..
I sorta hope that they are his, because at least they would be taken care of until the mess is sorted out...
Hey guys there was a break in up here in Chicago and three female ambilobes and a 18 month old red bar yellow bodied male were stolen. I can't really imagine it happening, but keep an eye out in the Craigslists and for sales if you are near the area please!
No not mine. I was getting ready to...
Ok so here is the little girls new cage, all done. Plants of various sizes, lighting for her, lighting for plants and a 16inch deep bedding that she can dig in till her heart (or urges) is content.
Now all I have to do is order my mistking next month and I will be happy with it:p...
Well I was getting very worried about my female panther. She would not drink.
Dripper, mister, misting (by hand) treated water, untreated water did not matter. I even dripped water on her nose, nope she just ignored it.
Yep tried the shower method too, no go.
Well today I finally got to...
LOL nope I knew she was a girl, but what I was concerned about was the fact that she went from a lovely sand solid to a salmon pink with purple strips coloration. I do have an egg bin in with her that she can get to at all times, and keep her on a pretty tight feeding schedule, but I am...
Ok so for the last few days my cham has had this coloring. Now it is a panther cham, Amilobe. I want unbiased opinions about the new and unusual coloration.. I have an opinion, but want verification please:rolleyes:
thanks guys
I feel for you, mine got lost between CA and MO for 3 days! she got here fine, but I bout had a nervous breakdown.. All in all they are resiliant little creatures:)
