[QUOTE="Vladimir, post: 81203, member: 7000"] I wish I had as good luck as you guys did, he screwed me over. I ordered 7 Pseudocreobotra Wahlbergii's (for $84.00 not bad) and received 8 (which I thought was awesome); went to work the next day and one was dead when I came home, not a big deal, you will loose a couple on there way to adult hood, so I did not think anything of it as the rest were active and eating good. Within that first week a total of five were dead, so I messaged him and he told me I "should have some idea to what is going wrong...there is probably something wrong with the moss you are using" (that moss was simply Sphagnum moss) I told him that the moss was the same moss I use for my Idolo's Gongy's Hymenopus, and dart frogs and his reply was "bizarre". Within the second week the last of them were dead and again he told me there is some kind of "fungus or bacteria on the moss" (apparently he did not read that I was currently using the exact same moss for most of my mantids and dart frogs). So again I told him I am using the same moss for my other mantids and dart frogs, and he then ignored me and never answered back, tried messaging him a second time and still ignored me. So he sold me sick mantids and kept my money; his loss, if he sold healthy mantids I would have been a permanent customer. [U][B]Conditions[/B][/U] They were kept at 72-76*F at night and 74-80*F during the day Humidity was kept at ~50% at the low and ~80% at the high They all ate 2-4 Hydei every 3-4 days before they died Enclosure was 2X2X2 (they were only L2 less than 1/2 inch long so the enclosure was a fine size for them) [/QUOTE]
