[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 155794, member: 29302"] Ah, mantises can be tricky to keep alive. How badly can he mess up adding water 1-2x per week? Lol lol Unless he totally forgets, that is. Maybe you'll need to text to remind him lol. I totally understand your hesitation. You must massively not trust him if you consider leaving them go the month to be the safer choice. My commiserations. I really feel for you! Has anyone on the forum ever left their T for a month + it was fine when they got back? I did read a post somewhere online where a guy left his (it was either a) G. rosea or porterii to go to college (or maybe prison lol, wish I could remember) with his unreliable brother. 2 whole years later, our hero returns to find that his brother had forgotten to feed and water it, and it was still alive. Now, I'm not sure if that is completely true (it must have been getting water from somewhere) , but just shows the hardiness of some species. I [/QUOTE]
