Alright, i'll start by saying i'm no bug guy; I keep reptiles. I have bred mealworms, superworms, and B. Lateralis roaches. I'm also working on Hissers and Dubias. Anywho, to make a short story shorter, I wouldn't mind trying some Praying Mantis.
Now, I figure the best way for me to go, being a newb and all, is to get some egg cases from the local garden store. They sell 2 for 10$ here in Southern California. What I was wondering, is the following:
1. I've read a bit on how to hatch the eggs. I was thinking of placing the stick with egg attached inside an aquarium, and waiting for them to hatch out in there and grab the ones that compete the best to keep. Good/Bad?
2. What do you guys keep them in when they're grown? Would a 10g tank work?
3. Is there anything else you can tell me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
