White dubia

So I saw one white dubia roach. Why is it white?

I’ve seen a white Dubia before! I think it means that it just molted

Bingo

Yup it just molted, good snack for Cham too! If I see one in my colony it's getting feed that day?

For how long does it stay like that?

Well I saw one of those white ones once, (too bad my veiled doesn’t like them) I would say like a couple days to a day or so. Not that long.

For a couple days, until the outer exoskeleton get hard and back to it's regular "color", they also like to hide more, because having the soft exoskeleton is a risk to them since they are soft when white. That's why when I see a freshly molted one I feed it to my Cham.

Takes several hours for them their exoskeleton to harden up
