Hahaha yea lucky is gettin fat, I'm probably to blame for that......Mon too lazy to feed em twice a day, so it's all you can eat, whenever you want , all day, everyday. Going thru about 150lbs of dog food a month atm, at the rate we are going, when the other two are full grown prob gonna be 200lbs of dry dog food a month.....They drink about 10 gallons of water a day, buckets are full of drool and almost empty in the morning....So when I water my dogs I water my plants........lol

Oh that's a strong concentrate then. I normally end up 50/50 or straight. Im learning. I really need to make some soon . I have this one plant yellowing a lil bit and have top dressed it a lot and it seems to continue. Need some tea I suppose. I started using some epsoma plant tone for top dress. I might add that to my tea recipe .

Congrats!
DID you name him yet?

lol Not yet. I've had a few regular run ins though. As well as few run ins with lizards that I know are the same ones. I was very happy to see him though. I found a few smaller ones but this guy was a mammoth. And his pupil, you can see it, he checks you out and stuff. And I know these animals don't speak english, but I do always look directly at them and say hey, "you are more than welcome to hang out here"......

Make sure you find something you can feed him to make sure he sticks around in case he gets caught up in there.
Couple notes I just peeped.:shock:
Feeding your mantis
Of course you have to feed your mantis. But unlike other pets such as cats and dogs, praying mantids do not need to eat every day. Feeding them every day can be bad for some mantids! You have to feed your mantis every two to four days, depending on the species, the type of food you give it, the size of the mantis, the body condition of the mantis (well-fed or skinny) and its life-stage (adult females need more food than adult males).
When feeding your mantis, make sure the mantis will actually eat the food you offer it. When you introduce live food to the enclosure of the mantis, this food can hide or escape. When this happens often the mantis will starve. To make sure your mantis will eat what you offer it, you can watch until he has caught the food. You can also offer the food with tweezers directly to the mantis. If you do this carefully the mantis will grab the live food item directly from the tweezers and will start eating instantly.
If you want to read what types of food your mantis will eat, read Live Food.
.
A variety of feeder insects should be provided for your praying mantis. The best way to make sure nutritional needs are met is to feed a number of different kinds of prey (fruit flies and aphids for nymphs, instars and smaller mantids, and a variety of flying insects such as moths, fruit flies, and house flies along with an occasional cricket or mealworm for larger ones). Make sure the prey has been gut loaded (feed a vitamin enriched food to the prey, which will be passed on to the mantis).

Hey guys,

Transplanted my pride and joy from like a 2.5Gal container to about a 40 gal container.
put 35 gall composted dirt 5 gal the rest of my 707 soil.
lost about 10% of the roots during the switch but i think itll be OK.
this is by far the biggest container ive used to date. but i was thinking a gallon of water
every other day.

anyone ever use this size container? will it need more water than that to soak the deep roots later on
i dont want dry roots mad deep in the soil to end up hurting the plant you know? any tips on
this size container would be cool. few pics b4 transplant. and then the pics from right after i took today.

Interesting read. Being that this is the 3rd one I have seen. I think they are eating random insects. I live in the country. And while I thank jesus I don't have any leaf eating insects as of now. I do see bugs here and there. I spray with triazicide and malathion here and there, and neem oil. But bugs like the moist environment and also I think they may be liking the seabird guano. I dunno. I'd feed him but I think he'll be ok. Provided the lizards don't eat him! These lizards actually confront me when I enter the area. it's nuts.
