Where To Buy A Peacock Mantis

[James Macaluso]

Hey everyone!
As the title states, I'm looking for a peacock mantis (Odontodactylus scyllarus) , and have been for a long time now. Seems like they are *very* hard to find. I remember seeing them at a few local shops but they now are entirely absent locally or online. If anyone has one that they are willing to rehome, sell, etc or knows of someone who has them for sale, please let me know. I am willing to pay shipping. I strongly prefer buying a WYSIWYG item, because these guys tend to vary in color, and oftentimes sellers ship the wrong species entirely.

Thank you!

There is one currently sitting in a LFS 5 minutes from my house has been in a small cube for at least 6 months. I’m in Northern California not that this helps

They wouldn't be interested in shipping by any chance? I live in Miami FL.

I used to work at an LFS. I remember us sitting on these for months at a time, hard sell because they require their own tank and live food
