White roaches

[kirstxblue]

Just a quick one guys, I've just taken delivery of our second lot of roaches and there's a white one in the box? It looks the same as the others but is totally white, like an albino. We had a couple in the last batch too.... Are they safe to feed to Calvin? Anyone know why they're white?!

They are freshly molted(shed). They are softer when they are white and your cham should enjoy that.

Yes, what's happening is they are molting(shedding they're exoskeleton) from growing. They should be perfectly fine, never had an issue.

Kind of like a soft shell crab!

Howdy,

Here's a shot I took a few years ago. I think this was one of my Madagascar Hisser feeders that I raised before I completely switched over to Dubias :
