Lol. This is funny stuff. At what age should I expect the sperm plugs and uh...err, for lack of a better term, sexdrive?
Maybe use a latex glove with KY jelly for him?
Don't keep any mantids together, they are canibalistic.
Before breeding, be sure both parties are well fed so they dont eat eachother when they're done.
That first ooth is probably not feritlized, as it takes a while to develop.

Worms are awesome!
They come in self contained cups with food and they're great.
You can get tiny ones at Great Lakes Hornworms. Check out the website!
They are great feeders and you can order them from one of our sponsors, Great Lakes Hornworm.
Do not ever feed a wild caught one, as the natural diet is toxic.
Not related to silkies I don't think, lemme look it up real quickly.
*EDIT
Silkworms Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia...
Thanks ajackobson!
There are lots of options for breeding feeders. The simplest, roaches but they are the grossest in my opinion.
Supers sound the next best!
I recently stumpled upon a nice ficus.
I read up on it here, Ficus Benjimina and it mentions a sap causing skin and eye problems.
Has anyone had problems using this ficus?
My guy nibbles on his umbrella tree and well as his hibuscus, but he isnt a huge plant eater.
Veggie scraps should be fine. I like to throw in some citrus to keep the vit. C intake where it should be. The supplements you mentioned are the three I use, and that looks about right.
Sandra has GREAT blogs, she has one on gutloading, I'll try and dig up a link.

This schedule is suitable for the duration of the life *I THINK*, as long as the factors stay the same.
But like Sandra said, many factors play into how to supplement a chameleon.
Gutload, Sunlight, Age, Species, Etc. I had a post titled " Reviewing my Supplement Schedule "...
