Absolutely amazing creature. We call him:

KIMBO

Ive always been fascinated by them but had never seen one in person untill he arrived today. They are incredible!

Had a friend that kept one in college. Awesome to watch predators, and very colorful to boot. Great name btw.

Thanks guys! He doesnt seem to be a very picky eater as some members have said they can be. Broke him off a claw from one of my large feeder crayfish and he took it from my hand. Also killed and ate 2 small snails. Finding affordable crustaceans to feed him may prove to be a challenge but I will get them no matter the hoops that have to be jumped through.

they're awesome, i named mine ET. they have way more personality than you would expect an invert to have.

Awesome mantis. I'd be careful hand feeding, though.
