    Thanks for the info on feeding, I wasn't sure what they would even eat. I actually caught a pair of them breeding so mabay I will get some eggs from them. I found them mating on the wall in the morning so I left them alone until I left late at night. They were still at it 8 hours later.

    Extatosoma tiaratum food for the winter

    Peter, I talked to one of my cousins a few weeks ago that works for the USDA and he told me that he thought getting a permit to keep phasmids should not be too hard. He was going to look into that for me and let me know. If he gets me some info, I will forward it back to you.
