I didn't actually breed them till I was about 9 and my dad helped me out a lot.

Then why did you write six? And does your dad know how to breed mantids?

He helped me feed them and he would buy them for me. I got him interested in them and once a year me and my dad go to Florida to hunt for mantids. My dad has a good eye for them.

He would buy the mantids? Okay, but you wrote you started breeding when you were six. Lol I'm just curious

My first mantises were Chinese my dad had bought me an ooth from insectlore.com

I started breeding roaches when I was four. At 6 I was breeding tons of Jackson's chameleons, but definitely not mantids. In fact I was still getting bloodied up by the little/big devils whenever I caught them at that age.

Anyone know what species is big enough to draw blood, and can be found in Hawaii?

Hahaha yes, but with humans. Mantids are different, there can be quite a few complications. Lol :lol:

Yeah I think adults have enough trouble breeding them. What with the cannibalism, and all.
