Albino dubia?

[inkdguy35]

I was feeding my roaches tonight and I saw what looked like a white roach. I hurried up and got him safely put into a small container by himself so I could get a few pictures. Is this rare (being albino usually is) and how rare is it?

I'm not sure, but I think that's just a freshly molted dubia.

Did it just molt? If it is albino, i looked it up and it seems like it's pretty common with feeder breeders.

Totally possible. I didn't see it shed but I'd guess that probably more likely. Its cool either way

I'd of said freshly moulted but actually doesn't look quite as white and opaque as a fresh moult so maybe it is an albino - Quite nice if it is- a few days time and you'll know if it hasn't coloured up by then.

Yea, give it a few day and I bet he darkens up. Looks like he may have molted a few days ago. They only stay white and soft for about a day or two.

It's a freshly moulted dubia, nothing special
