Does anyone know what happened to @Kharn ? I miss his regular posts on his mantis kingdom which were both informative and entertaining. A man truly passionate about his critters.

I assume it is the same person but I do see posts on various facebook sites

There was a bit of a disagreement a while back because he was feeding live animals to his mantis' for entertainment value. When the debate about animal ethics came up it got a bit heated and he left. It is a shame because he was one of the few mantis keepers on here, but I definitely see the point that was made against him...

He posts on Facebook, and recently revealed his 'superhero' identity as the Mantis Man. He has a full leather outfit he is kitting out with mantis appendages (or replicas of, wasn't sure). Also recently read that he chose his mantis obsession over his partner, so he is definitely giving his passion his full attention still.

Well... that is..uhh....different

Hmmmm obsessed much?

He passed obsession about 2kms back mate, lol. I dunno why everyone gets their panties in a bunch about live foods. This is NATURE, it's NATURAL for them to eat live animals.

For those not into the FAcebook thing, here's a sample:

So he basically shrunk himself and learnt how to breathe under water lol.
Good on him for having a passion but he certainly fits in the "weirdo" category.

Look, I'm all about getting enjoyment from the hobby, and being passionate....

But this is some next level shit, right here.

 

[Ian3145]

Off the rails for sure.

Meh, he is probably no more over the top than a couple of other reefers I know.
It's just that he enjoys the spotlight so he comes across as a bit of a fanatic, that's all.


Cheers,

I still talk to Kharn on FB. He is decidedly one-track for sure. He's moved his business off-shore I think and only spends half the year here in Australia. He has big plans for the humble mantis - don't be surprised if there's a movie some day lol Last i saw he was selling off all his tanks & stuff in preparation for a whole new set-up. I think he's still got stuff for sale on FB if anyone wants any :)

Hmmmm obsessed much?

Yes....yes he is...
I talk to him fairly regularly on FB and he hasn't slowed down or mellowed lol he's focusing on his business and Youtube channel afaik :)
