Me too its hard to find a home for such a specialized creature. My hubby needs to redo the fuge and won't put his hands in there while Grendel is in there. People run away screaming when he comes out for a swim if you get too close to his tank. I put my hand in there but watch him closely since his reach is much farther then you would think. I feel bad having him in the basement and feel he should be appreciated in a display.

What kind of mantis is that little guy. Beautiful!!! I wish you could take Grendel too. I guess I'll be putting him in a pail while hubby works in the fuge.

Still available to the right home.

Default pseudosquilla ciliata

Yah, he is pretty cool, i have had him for about a year now. He still has his yellow color, i have been told this will eventually change due to the coloration around him. But so far still a bright yellow, very active but will be no bigger than about 4 inches or so. Zebras are nice too but they grow so large, you have to have a special tank just for one specimen. I hope you find someone to take him, they are very social critters, also very hungary.

Yeah I read they get quite large... Mine is not getting any bigger yet and I have had him for awhile now. If he was a smasher he would have been gone a long time ago. I feel bad for him being in the fuge away from interaction. He is very smart and great to watch. He never hides and is always studying us.

Bump for a fantastic mantis people. FREE to a excellent home.
