Shovelman is Awesome Build Thread

when he molts.. hopefully the shell rot will go away.. but when he does molt i suggest just removing it so he doesnt eat it
 
Will do, she is covered by a blanket all the time unless I'm planning on feeding or taking pics. So there isn't much light at all. Definitely willing to redo everything if it will help her tho.

yeah hopefully he recovers from it.. its hasnt spread all around has it?
 
Wow, this thread is simply awesome... Now I want one too, lol... I think I need a bigger apartment... And paycheck...
 
This thread made me miss my little guy. Had a six inch peacock. Died a month ago when we had 96 degree heat. Went to the pool and before we left my three year old turned off the air. Poor little guy got cooked. Almost lost both my tanks too. Thank god I didn't. There would have been no recovery.

Really cool of you Erik to watch his mantis.
 
****, had no idea you had a Mantis in addition to the rest of your tanks! :( That really sucks man, sorry you lost the poor guy! Glad your other tanks pulled through - what a nightmare that must have been!
