Ain't that one of them green turtles? What ya doin' with him?

Really though, it a Odontodactylus scyllarus, and I'll gladly take him off your hands!

I appreciate the offer Brad.. :D

This thing isn't tiny and didn't come out of a rock. It is about 5-6 inches long. Really nice mantis.. I'll get better pics of it soon. Shao is being kind enough to hold onto it for me until my new set up is running next week.

Very nice critter that is for sure.

S**T!! Where did you get it? I've been looking for a year for one of those!

three guesses and the first two don't count.

Shao actually told me about it. I was helping him set up his CA reactor and he said he saw the coolest mantis at J&L.. I called ten seconds later and told them to hold it. Been dreaming of getting one of these guys for ages.

SOmetimes I just hate you.....

So I just sent a note to Allen to pre-purchase the next one they get in. I also asked him to ban you from the store. First it's the snails, then you get my shrimp!! Will it never end??

You don't hate me.. ;)

From now on if cool things show up at J&L I should post it here.

I'll get ya lots of pics Brad. :D

Yes I do hate you!!
Maybe if you post some streaming video, it would be like having one.
I'm sure Allen will find me my very own peacock mantis soon enough. I still think he should ban you from the store!! :D :D
