yes the grow to about 4 and a half inches

mantis look beter.
but they only live for 6months

I wouldn't do hissing cockroaches. They aren't a natural part of the corn snakes diet. I would be worried with the mantis hurting the corn snake, as they can do some damage to the eyes or scales. Locusts sound good to me.

i thin hes thinkin for more as a pet

i would only feed locust to my corn, the mantis would be like a pet,
"sweet little mantis"

Ahhhh, never mind then. I have a thing for mantis' also, had one for a few months before we let it out in Hawaii.

roaches are realy simple to care for

is it true that they can survive a nuclear attack?

yes

wow
thats crazy!


but how?

im not shure

its something to do with there exoscelleton

mmmm, strange anyway.

but its pretty cool

yea totally!

the set up can be as basic or as complex as u like

i should be picking up my locusts tomorrow or the day after!
oh my god!
its going to be crazy!

I got my locusts today, they are about 1 1/5 inch long.
I am hopeing to breed them for food, does anyone know anything about breeding them.

Chris's locusts are really aggressive, every time i open the box a put me hand in, they go mad and attack me!

Well mine just jump out & end up everywhere...i feed them to the spiders..
