Finally I was able to get him out. Got up bright and early pulled the rock and squirted some seltzer water in his hole. He came right out. Also got the blue one..Off to the LFS they go!
The bluish one looks just like the guy who's staring at me from the nano right now. It's great you can take them to the LFS. They're so cool, even if they're vermin.
They look awesome, especially the red one! I have a tank all set up to get a mantis someday. We spotted one in our LR the first week we got it but haven't really seen it since. I actually am a bit disappointed about that! Now I'm actually looking to order one since I think they make such cool pets.
