This seems realitivly simple considering you can buy them at most garden shops, but would it be ok for any Cham to eat a mantis? If so I'm probably going to get some and slowly feed them to my jacksons. Any tips on keeping/raising them?

I have a extra ten gal aquarium that I was thinking I could use. If I split it into sections do you think that would be alright to separate them out in? I have a bunch of storage bins in all sizes too that would probably work. Is there any fruits or veggies that they could eat? Or mainly crickets?
theyre easy enough to hatch out and used as feeders pretty frequently, each ooth produces anywhere from 50-300 mantids depending on the species. Theyre highly cannibalistic and are hard to keep together without a lot of space, but some people use that as an effective way to thin out the numbers. Keep them together till theyre reduced to a manageable number, then separate them into their own little containers (5oz deli cups w/ holes in the lid work well). They eat a lot and will need a steady supply of feeder insects as they grow (starting with fruit flies or pinheads, and eventually eating things as large as dubia or full grown crickets). Humidity is important for molting, too little or too much and they wont be able to molt properly
not sure what the nutritional value is though
