Tournesol said: If by miracle, I manage to capture it and a local "LFS" is ok to take it I could ask him if they deliver to the UK. If yes, not too costly, and if @Ratvan is still looking for a mantis I could give him the LFS phone number. I mean at that point i might as well beg my friend in Germany to do it for me 😂 Just now, Kindanewtothis said: I did not even know where in France and UK you guys were, still don't know for @Ratvan. Plus I remember the price I paid for the trip (was expensive but not that much, it was in 2017) I'm in Leeds. Plus to get the Eurostar I'd have to go to London and f*ck that, plus you know the problem with France right? (full of French people) 😂 4 Quote Link to comment

(full of French people) 😂 My origins are half French half English. My great great grand-father was born near London. I don't know on my mom's side where in France they are from. Two great countries.

Ratvan Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Mantis arrives on Tuesday added a bit more rock to the tank as well today, ran all the tests to ensure the water quality is up to scratch, will most likely undertake a water change when it arrives to acclimate the mantis 5 1 Quote Link to comment
