Hello!

HappyABC1892 · 08-05-12, 08:08 PM

Hello! I like mantii and other animals. I came from South Korea to North Carolina over a year ago. I am 14 years old. It is hard for me to keep animals now but I do want to keep many kinds of mantii and other animals in the future. I have videos of my stuff here (search wnlong1 on YouTub). I caught a brown snake that is around 25cm in length (I did not measure him). He is not eating. He is getting very thin (he has a lot of wrinkles). Will he live if I let him go outside now?

Welcome to the forum! Please read our sSNAKESs forum rules.

Yes he will survive.

They will only eat earthworms, garden slugs and small snails.

Thank you for the welcome. I kept him in a small container and put a worm and a slug but he would not eat. I tried to feed him a male Blatta lateralis but I guess it was too big.
I read the rules and I might have missed something, did I do something wrong? Is it alright to put a few pictures here?

Thank you, that makes me feel better. I let him go now. I forgot about him, I seemed to have barley any interest. I do not know what kind of Brown Snake he was.

Yes, pictures are always welcome

Haha! I do not have pictures of the snake. Here are a few pictures of the mantii I used to have.
This is not a mantis. Rhyparobia sp. "Malaysia".

Two adult female Pnigomantis medioconstricta. They could not live.

Here are a whole bunch of pictures of them.

Sorry that I did not write well. I was stressed and I did not remember many things. English is my native language. Korean is very different from English and Japanese is too but all of the other languages I looked at seem very similar.... weird.

A long time ago I loved Ball Pythons. I did not have any but I wanted to when I grew up. I looked at all kinds of morphs. I caught another Brown Snake a few days ago and got pictures. I hope this one eats but he has not yet.

Oh, and Shelfordella lateralis are not in the genus Blatta, they are in the genus Shelfordella! I found out a few days ago and this is if those places are right and I am pretty sure they are.
