hiya i got the same species my males are over 12 weeks now i think so pretty long (for a mantis) any idea of what sex it is?

Havnt a clue mate, i was given them for free and knew nothing about them when i first had them both. 12 weeks?? Do you mean 12 months? I just thought this is the final shed and not long left

does it have full wings or just four dark dots? if it has its full wings chances are its had its last moult
and the time it has left will be slightly dependant on the sex, females can live a fair bit longer do you know if its male or female?

Nah, i got given them for free. Im more into my T's and Scorps really. You into Mantids? If someone wants to breed them they can have them, not my thing to be honest

yeh i keep mantids also but im not a breeder i've had one attempt, with some S.centralis and lost both male and female in the process i was very gutted about that one my female was eggbound and i couldnt do anything to save her and my male was fairly old for a male mantis
but if you did want them bred pm mark75 he has more mantids than i can count and has succesfully bred a few
good thing about getting others to breed them for you, is u can always get an ootheca back or a few nymphs
