Nice, definitely not a species that uou see often here in the states. Do you plan in breeding them?

@mantisfan101 If my male gets any better, he's been kind of weak since I got him. The females are doing fine though

My females are both at L6 and the male is still L5, he's dragging half his body around right now

@OblongonotaFan321 that’s not a good sign, got a pic? What have you been feeding him?

He's just been eating D. hydei fruit flies. I took him out after he fell down again and he can only move his front legs

@OblongonotaFan321 not a good sign, how much ventilation/humidity have you given him? Did he happen to fall during a molt? Did you or anyone else use pesticides nearby?
