Clear shell on Dubia feeder

[Brodybreaux25]

I recently bought about 500 Dubia for my two Veileds, bought 400 from ABD Dragons and 100 from LLL Reptiles. I am new to both chams and Dubia, when I scooped up a few feeders this morning I saw one had what appears to be a clear shell and albino insides. I already Googled it and tried to find something on them here in the forums with no luck. Is this a female or other species maybe? Alien form another planet?

That is a dubia that recently molted. In a few hours the exoskeleton will start to dry and harden and it will become the normal color once again.

Darn. I was hoping for an alien lifeform!

My Parsons go crazy for the fresh molted Roaches!

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Thanks for the fast response!

As do my Parsons.

They're so pretty when they molt.

I like feeding those off, nice and soft, easy to digest.

 

[Owlco]

OO pretty, I sometimes find white crickets too!

They look a little like popcorn when they are molting.

Squishy and delishy.
