Large male O. scyllarus often will not use their raptorial appendages for a couple of weeks after molting. Are the rapts sprung (extended)?

Well I'm glad to know that! I think I won't add another mantis then. I would want another active species and more active = better chance of my peacock catching it (I would assume)
His raptorials look normal to me (that doesn't mean a whole lot) they are not sprung and he holds them symmetrically. I will upload a picture tomorrow as he has already closed his burrow for the night.
I greatly appreciate the help Dr. Roy. Maybe I haven't given it enough time but I'd like to know if he is ok!
