Video of me hand feeding my Mantis!

So because i had no proof that i actually hand feed my mantis here is a video. He was acting a bit strange today so i was kinda nervous :-/ (why i pulled away the second time)... the first time he knocked the krill out of my hand and it floated up to the surface because it is freeze dried . Ndomukong (K+ to who knows why i named him that) is a weird fellow, and tends to lay on his back like a dog (seen at the beginning and the end of the video) . ENJOY ;D

Haha that's a biiig smithii

I tried hand feeding our smithii. He's too aggressive for it. He even hits our tongs, even though he knows they are the bringer of food. I may try again some day...

My old 2" N. Wennerae would eat from my hand though She was awesome.
