[QUOTE="thebookman10, post: 177745, member: 33223"] Yeah if you want to keep Giant Asian Mantis go for it. I started out in the mantis hobby with a female ghost mantis, who is currently L3 and who I hope to breed. Ghost mantis are easy to keep communally, and if fed well will not try to eat each other, even after mating. Mantis are really good pest control, they eat all the insects which would otherwise decrease farmers' profits so they are often sold in gardening stores. Buy an ooth, and hatch it out. You should invest in buying a culture of flightless fruit flies, the culture will reproduce and you can easily start new cultures once the old one dies out using survivors from the old culture. You should feed all your mantis thrice a week for 1 week, then ask around for any local farmers who would like some mantis to help deal with any pest problems they have. Sell off all of the excess mantis, or you could give them away for free. PM me for more details as the sun is currently rising on a new day and I need to get some sleep. [/QUOTE]
