Күн бұрынToday we unbox some incredible praying mantises produced by Luke, a 9-year-old in California! These were purchased to resell in our retail store, and we were so impressed by him that we decided to share them with you :) Luke is a great example of how younger enthusiasts can do great things for the reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate hobby!

Normally I'm a little iffy about "encouraging" young kids to be into breeding as its a lot of responsibility but this kid made his own micro-terrariums just to transport them... you go kiddo!
@Lexzah 3 жыл бұрын
I agree that kids shouldn't be left alone to try and do this stuff on their own with no real help. But with the right help and encouragement and support they can be as great if not better than adults. My sister was a guinie pig breeder at a young age. And she was great at it, she put so much effort into her pigs. Cause she had all our support to make sure she did it right.

@@itsthatonechickagaincallth7843 the problem with that is that the majority of children are not responsible enough to be able to breed animals at all regardless of how much assistance from their parents they get, unless their parents do all the work. At which point the kid isn't being taught anything and the parents are wasting a lot of money.

I grew up in Japan and mustering up courage to pick up a Japanese giant mantis (they are everywhere in fields) was a rite of passage for little kids. And those giant mantises feel truly giant in little kids’ hands. To me, Luke is a hero for handling so many mantises! Also, I’m SUPER impressed with Luke’s professionalism and all the thought and passion he puts into his mantises. His excellent handmade habitats and including care guide handouts for the customers really blew me away!

I actually bought a pregnant female from fishland (out local petstore) where i got 2 feeders for my snake,and 4 for pets (incluing the female) she had her babies like a week ago,and now we have 6-12 pinkies,they should start growing fur in a few days,we will either feed or sell them at around hopper size.

Luke is impressive! At such a young age being responsible for all this as well as handling some of the business aspects of it, he's learning a lot and it will come in handy when he grows older. His skills in customer service, attention to detail and finance. :D wowie! Amazing what can happen when you help nurture an interest.

Also, the spiny mantis is so interesting! Would have never known these facts if you didn't make a video about them. Thank you for keeping all of us learning and also to better ourselves too!

Luke definitely deserves praise because he clearly cares about his animals, but we should also praise his parents or whatever adult has helped him out, too! He's definitely had someone showing him the ropes and helping him along the way and teaching him and that's so cool.

This reminds me of how I used to breed guppies when I was about his age. As long as you are passionate about what you are doing and properly taking care of your animals, then do not let age or inexperience deter you from working with them.

He reminds me so much of a few people I know who were home schooled... started a 4H project or got really into a specific animal and then before they even finished high school had become well-respected breeders in their field. If he keeps this up, he's going to be the person everyone turns to for mantis expertise and to provide quality specimens. Very impressive. Mad props to him and his guiding guardians who undoubtedly support him in his endeavors. SO COOL!
