[QUOTE="Rick, post: 263650, member: 13"] I think in general it is fine for the hobbyist to breed from the same ooth. I know I did it many generations over and never noticed any adverse effects. I am willing to bet most hobbyists do it as well. It often is impractical to mate two mantids from different ooths. I would assume that most stock in a particular country is inbred to some degree. If you can get new stock for mating then by all means do it, but it is unlikely you will have any issues by inbreeding mantids. [/QUOTE]
