actual pictures of the mantids took by my son Luke

care sheet:
females get to approx 90mm , males 80mm, easy to look after ,we use sweet jars with a few sticks in and voile or fine curtain net on top, weekly mist 3 times a week from this instar now (everyday when just hatched) and feed every other day while young on fruit flies (advise you order from livefoodsuk as soon as possible).
when older they will take crickets, mealworms small locusts, they also like more floor space when older and we have found females are quite happy to sit on the bottom too.
we keep ours at room temperature, too cold will kill as well as too hot, lovely size species recommended.

price each £8 (5-6cm size, picture taken on 13 year old boys hand)

nice size to begin with and have been handled, lovely docile first starter tarantula, only 5 of these left now so be quick.

thanx stuart89, disappointed at lack of response to be honest , great price for L4 mantids plus free delivery if you can pick up at the bts show.
come on guys and gals , my oldest two boys 13 and 11 bred these and want some pennies from them.
the curly hair spiderlings are a fantastic price for the size they are, iv'e seen smaller go for more than £8 and they were bred by my 13 year old , a great starter spider!
