Peacock mantis videos

Here's some footage I took from last year showing off my Odontodactylus Scyllarus. It isn't the greatest video, but she is still the COOLEST!

Sadly I learned I have to move very soon (in the military) and I'll have to give her up...will have had her 2 years this July. Beautiful mantis, and such a great personality too. She was less than 2.5" long when I got her and now she's almost 4". Whoever gets her will have a great friend for at least another couple years if they take good care of her.

I appreciate the offer, but it just won't work out. Believe me I would never be giving up my Peacock unless I had no other option.

I have one other person that might want it who I gave first dibs. If that doesn't work out, I'll send you a PM. You have a big enough tank?

Not really... let me know if you can't find someone else. I'll see about getting one
