Wed. Weekly Mantis Thread

A worm* not work

fuck yeah

Dubs decides his name

Roll for "Our Guy"

our MANtis*

Mogar

You don't need to make the mantis lift, it needs to mimic the movements it'd do in the wild. Play tug of war with the worms if you can. When it he's big enough give it smaller mantids or other bugs to fight. Progressive overload in the form of progressively larger opponents while supplementing its food with calcium so it's exoskeleton is bigger and stronger. Raise it to be a prized fighting bug.

MF MOGAR THE BARBARIAN

winnar

MOGAAAAARRRRRR

if i were you i'd hook some rubber hose up to the nozzle and then feed the hose through a hole in the enclosure so that you could get a good seal around the O2 source

Real mycooh?

Mogar fought a cricket the other day then ripped off his skin to make room for more food and natural weight gains.

Thats a good idea to make the setup look slicker. There are filter holes that allow gas exchange so the constant stream of oxygen gets pushed out slowly anyways.

whoa thats pretty rad. never knew mantis's could shed skin

Is it really possible that he may grow to be a very big boy if he’s fed lots of oxygen?

i think you should give him a bigger tank/terrarium/whatever you call it. animals grow based on the amount of space they have. plus, how'd you feel if you had to work out in a 5x5 room with no windows?

I already have the new home setup for next week when mogar sheds his skin again.
checked.
yes for you.

You should save his skins in little glass vials or something and track his size gain over time OP. Also log his weekly activity/diet since each molt on sticky notes and label the vials.

Get a second one raise him on standard mantis regimen and have him fight mogar in a few months.

What would you if I came over to your place and stole him haha

This

OP I was in your first thread, I was the one that suggested that he probably shouldn't consume pre-workout... Have you looked into supplementing creatine into his water?

seconded

I fucking hate bugs especially the flying ones.
This happened just now.

me too until the end

I think it only gets water from the flesh of the weak. Im going to powder coat its food.

Jow Forums bug fighting championships???

it is possible, but he would need to remain in the oxygen rich environment 100% of the time.

also why this is possible is that insects have an open circulatory system
ever cell in their body needs to be in direct contact with oxygen through diffusion
this is one of the main reasons insects don't grow huge, the largest insects (titan stickbug) are really long, but not that thick
