Best online mantis shop?

[WyrmSwarm]

Ive been looking into buying mantids and maybe some other inverts, are there any websites online that have a good selection, decent prices, and sell to the US?

YES! There is bugsincyberspace.com. He is amazing, I just got my order 2 days ago. I got a centurion roach and a spiny flower roach. You should definitely check him out. Amazing customer service, too. Here is his email: peter@bugsincyberspace.com :smile:

I actually go through him already at the moment xD I just didn’t know if there were any other reputable online invert sellers around. I’ve bought a few different inverts from him and definitely plan on buying more from him. Super reliable!

, and sell to the US?

If you find a seller outside the US that ships to the US, don't do it. You need permits and custom fees to import mantids, and a lot of species aren't allowed in, or so I've heard.

I’ve found a couple different sites that are outside the US and it seems like a hassle even trying to order from them because of how the website is situated and the differences in currency. I’ve never placed a order on any website that’s outside the US and I’m trying to buy from people only located in the states. Thanks for the advice!

Yen Saw appears to have great reviews on mantidforum, but I think you have to PM or email him to order.

 

[KevinsWither]

I sell mantises too.

 

[WyrmSwarm]

I sell mantises too.

Interesting! When I’m looking to buy maybe I’ll pm you if you don’t mind!

 

[KevinsWither]

Sure! I don't mind.

Mantisplace is the way to go.

 

[Greasylake]

I order my mantids pretty much only from the mantid forum now. It's typically cheaper and I think the people there are more likely to give freebies than the retailers are.

 

[KevinsWither]

Mantidforum is good source.

Mantidsgalore.com is awesome, and if you join the FB group Mantis Connection, you can find a few awesome sellers on there Cheryl Dewitt in particular. I purchase a bunch from her every year, and I tried Mantidsgalore last year and was very pleased, will purchase from her again too.
