    he will definitely be getting a tank upgrade in the future.

    We gave him a small clam today and he loved smashing it. I kinda thought he wouldn't notice it until he was hungry, but he went right after it.

    I did manage to get some videos which I promptly edited into one awesome vid. I am in the process of uploading it to youtube atm so it will be posted here shortly!

    Beautiful mantis.. I would love to have one.. but dont like the idea of live feeding too much. A snail or a clam I could possibly do.. but.. not sure.. will watch the video when the bosses leave lol
