woah woah hang on a minute
i had my roaches in my shed for the summer and after halloween i cleaned out the shed to put stuff in it (my roaches were long back in the house) and i found an escaped B.fusca female on a chair, half frozen but still alive
she revived within 3 hours and is still alive today
i have a bin with my shelfordella colony and whenever i reach in there and let them crawl on my skin, adult females start nibbling on my skin
why r they doing this? they are rather painful
almost all my adults died now and r yellow or pink, but the few babies i see r growing bigger
is it just old age? is it possible they r being kept too wet??
my idea for why a roach can have white eyes is that there might be some part of the exoskeleton over the eyes that is lifted up, away from them, so they appear white, similar to how dead skin separated from people and insects is discolored and white
