[gurumasta]

[gurumasta]

5 inches curled a little.

 

[gurumasta]

[gurumasta]

[gurumasta]

[gurumasta]

Nice Mantis!!!

Nice Does it club or spear? For some reason the spearers make me more nervous. I think it the thought of getting hit in the hand and with a spearer
you would pull it out of the tank when you pull your hand out and it would get you again.

 

[gurumasta]

thats a lot of questions to answer but i'll try.

D are you keeping him at work?
can I come and play with him?

no. hes at my house. i still have my other little mantis at work though. yes, come and play with him, i got $50 out on the table to the first person to pick him up with their hands.

That is my old 18 gallon cube right?

its a smasher. peacock, spearers are cool too but i never owned one. thats next on my list.


this guy is awesome. hes friggin huge and mean and isnt shy at all. i suggest one to everybody. i have owned a smaller one for almost a year and i barely ever see him. this one is always poking his head out or roaming. cool as hell.

 

[dz6t]

If you cook the shrimp first, I will pick him up with my hands. Then I will eat your attorney.

 

[dz6t]

I think he can smash the tank and get out.

 

[Scuba_Dave]

Smashingly good looking

 

[this is me]

Yeah, that would be a very nice fried lobster substitute.

 

[dz6t]

You can get the brown color one in China town.
