I;m so sorry...
Hope you are alright

erm.. as mantis keeper as well, my mantises need these dead leaves as well,
so i tried to find some dry leaves that are waxy, wouldn't even grow moult under very damp conditions

leaves from Bauhenia kockiana (orange, red flowers) or the dried leaves from a common landscaping tree (bright yellow tiny flowers that clump together with legumes; forgotten its sp. name). Those work fine for about 1 month but make sure they are completely dry before use.

just my 2cents

So what do you guys think of this?

wa.. the discussion's ongoing..



These corporate pet shop employees don't know a thing about keeping T's (not all, some). I really pity those T's and how they misguide future T keepers on how to keep them. my foot. Next thing they will say is to pet them and teach them tricks.



That will be a great idea. MTS should find out what sp are there and we breed extensively to increase their numbers



Ya, only two of the T's found there. I would humbly suggest MTS should respond to the Star.



Who's mr Durai?? If you don't mind me asking.

these? lol no idea what sp. ID?

cross checked online with mr google.. and some old threads on arachnoboard. maybe that;s it.. the thick hair at the hind legs

My Chaco just moulted . Been in premolt since he/she arrived.

Did not live up to the sp reputation of a heavy eater for the pass 2 weeks. I'll wait for a few more days then i intro to you guys.


Here's the perfect moult. Sorry abt the quality [Webcam 1.3MP)

Hey.. I;m getting a good week

OBT from andrew just moulted to a bright orange monster of (3.5 +- inch)

How do I know it moulted? hid itself in its makeshift hide made up from leaves for 2 weeks without even feeling annoyed by the jumping(& noisy) male cricket.

Today when I came back, Cricket gone + T busy webbing.

Can't retrieve the moult because I have phobia of opening the cage.

I think it moulted for a few days ago without me knowing. just that I saw it out today.
Add the T into the tank 2 days ago.

Thanks for the reminder though cos sometimes i get too excited as well.. newbie



Great T where did you get theM??!!! cool~~~ blue fang.. fav

wa... 3am~~~!!!!

nice wei.. is that the one you told me abt?

Aren't we all immature when we were younger?
I know it's no excuse for having such behavior. But maybe it could be a misunderstanding.

The least he should do is give a token of trust and not to tarnish his own image as a seller and a person. He should take courage and face the problem like a man. To learn to admit if he was wrong.
If he doesn't take up his responsibility and clear the air soon, he is the one at loss.

Harry93 your money will be worth it if you take this experience as a lesson on future purchases, especially from the Internet. Exercise caution.

Did you further inquire about the matter when he told you that he doesn't have pics? Hope he provides a reasonable explanation to you Harry93 soon.


On a lighter note: My boehmi just moulted..


But i got a question for the experts here.
- My rosea moulted last week with one leg short
- Today my boehmi moulted with one pedipalp short.

I never touched them nor move the container during moulting. I don't powerfeed them. (feed them once a week)
Is it humidity problem or something else? both moulted sideways instead of lying on their abdomen. I also dare not to move them as i was advised against it.

So what's the problem that i can rectify so that none of my T will have the same problem later?

Thank you

Sure is. all those colour... OMG~ those are the ones i want... too~~

Mm.. Not flaming him here. Advise him to just to make his case.

Back to the question, i keep my recently moulted ones quite ok. Misting a few times a week. I give them ample ventilation (Poking countless holes around the container wall) and it has been dry here in Ampang, Substrate becomes like a desert in 2 days.

For the b.boehmi, I may have forgotten to mist when i suspected it to be in premolt.

So is really humidity the problem here?

Keep T enclosure in a well-ventilated area as well. I used to keep them in a small room and within days, mold starts to fester.
But if there is no other place to keep them, add more holes.. . You can't have too many holes. open up the windows during the day. Have a fan in the room.

PS: not an expect. Newbie too. But i don;t have mold for less than a month now. I am doing something right.





If you can find a pair, i want your babies..~~~

@HyourinMaru:
No, for normal T's once a week
For others with water dish, i seldom mist
For special dry-climate Ts, I seldom mist
For premolting T's, twice/thrice a week
For moulted T's, twice a week

I just mist a side of the substrate, leaving the other side of the container dry to give the T a choice

I agree with you.
I say it was not an excuse but these things happen.
Experience is earned though. this will just leave a bad mark on his reputation as well.

i think i would leave it at that.

support. Let them resolve personally. if situation gets worse PM the relevant people.. mods or one of us for help

wow.. actually i didnt know it happened last month abt 30th sept right?

I thought it was a recent event. never thought it dragged that long.

I;m quite misinformed then. He's online i think now

I LOVE UR VERSICOLOUR... THAT"S SO ON My NEXT WISHLIST~~~!!!

MET~~~~


I want~~~

Definitely beautiful.

The orb spider in my garden layed a egg sac. I was fortunate to find it.
