(I'm in the mantis hobby, feeding mantis's to my chameleon would be like feeding chameleons to my boomslang)

spatulars will become famous soon enough
I caught a mantis outside my door the other day, and I was going to raise him to feed to my chameleon. But he was so pretty and so awesome that I had to let him go, I felt so bad for keeping him locked up. I usually hate bugs.

sure thing.
They can fight back.
I only feed my chameleon the hatchlings and baby mantises.

Once they grow adult i just keep them.
If i have too much, i just release them in my garden.

the only annoying part is the gutloading process.
1st you gutload the crickets/ flies
then you feed them to your mantis
then you feed the mantis to your cham.
