Tastes like chicken..

Now that the cold has come I didn't have the heart to let my manties freeze so we put a few in our terrerium and they seem to be thriving. All three have laid egg cases and are eating just about anything I toss in. The particularly love crickets and i need to ration them else they will eat a full dozen in one day.

like the rich colours, what does the whole cage look like, presume there are no other critters in it?

The only other critters are crickets, moths, ladybugs, whatever else has wandered into the house now that it's gotten cold. I did divide the tank into two sections keeping the two ladies apart. They are very territorial and often peer at each other through the plexi.

Terrific pics!

Wow, those are amazing pictures. That is shot though the glass?? What lens were you using?

I wondered too about this, but the pics quality is soo good for being though the glass...

Yes, those are shot through the glass. It's a convoluted setup. I have a light shroud I tape to the glass to keep the flash light away. Than one flash on top reflected and diffused and I handhold another flash for a more face on light. The pics are taken with the 100mm macro.

Stuff like this makes me want a macro lens.
