Crazy Mantis vid

Jason, is this a stabber? do you know what kind it is? is it normal for a mantis to tolerate people handling it.. or hand feeding it? Mine is a dif kind but if im holding food in the tank it charges.

Pretty neat Devon, thanks for sharing!

Not sure if that's normal but it is neat that the mantis has come to tolerate that kind of intrusion.

 

[PIMPALA]

That's a zebra. Smasher. No, not normal, but there are lots of brave people that do that.

Awsome shrimp amazingly tame.

 

[ReefLady]

Is there a "craziest thing" award we can nominate this guy for? Watch this, so you'll know what to expect some time.

Wish I could delete the last one second, but I'll bet the guy doesn't normally cuss.

He's actually superman when not saving the world.

 

[ReefingFun]

Okay... Either the guy has a form of HSAN (category of disorders which causes the person not to feel pain) or just has some huge cojones!

Cool animal though, to be so docile.

That takes more stones than I have for sure! I would love to do a peacock mantis tank,but I would like to keep my fingers so I don't think that will ever happen.

Mad, yes.

Could he one day strike out, yes.

Would I be brave enough to attempt it, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
