Anything that I should keep in mind, tips or anything like that?

Store crickets.

Check out the insect classifieds on kingsnake.com, some of the fancier species are quite neat as opposed to one of the normal green ones, and pretty affordable.

I used to have some when I was little. I usually fed mine grasshoppers rather than crickets (I wasn't as grossed out by grasshoppers). He also got those yellow/white butterfly moth things, moths and locusts.

What kind are you getting?

Wow i haven't posted on this site in a while.

I had a praying mantis for a little over six months. I found it at my elementary school when i was a kid. I used to feed it little skipper moths and other little flys and things. It did great. It finally died when it took its own head off. Never really got why it did that.
