Some people already know me such as yen_saw. Well I love animals but my parents hate them. My brother breeds snakes and has had a variety of exotic pets like coatimundis and marmoset monkeys. He also got me a Sulcata tortoise when he came home from college. Now I am interested in mantids because they are easy and wondeful. I never seen one in reality except for one time when i visited New York (I live i Florida). i found a one inch chinese mantid (i never knew about all the species back then) and i fell in love with it. Now 2 years later i want one to take care of.
