You and me both; I don't see it happening with Tiny though.
I think Tiny has been captive for a long time; he is very lazy
and only wants me to feed him. There are tons of small snails every
where so I went to my lfs and bought three large snails ( I payed $3.00 ea. for) my thinking was the small snails wasn't worth the effort for a little meat. When I got the snails I put them in there and sat down for what I thought was going to be a treat. To make a boring story short he is still walking all over them.
"Who tames a mantis shrimp" I was looking forward to shells cracking heads being cut off crabs rip apart; thats what a mantis does!!!
He sits at the front of the class and begs for food when i'm in the room.
Leave it to me to get a very lazy and docile mantis when I wanted a real
mantis. Oh now don't get me wrong I still love Tiny he has a great personality.
Tiny is a little over 6 in. I measured him when he was stretch out in front the other day. I have also had my hand in the tank several times; last night he covered up my sponge so I went in to uncover it. Tiny stood up and beg for food when he seen my hand in so I am thinking someone has been feeding him by hand; I might try it later when I feel more confident.
Can you believe this I have a mantis but really I don't!!!!!!
