Keith Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 So this one Male (presumably adult) Hisser I raised last shed a month and a half ago with its siblings. It has been acting normal and eating. Slowly the poor thing has gotten more bloated that at first I thought it was going to shed again, but the length of time I think leads me to believe its fully grown. I have no idea what is causing it but it isn't acting sick. I mean just look at it though it looks like a heavily pregnant female males aren't supposed to be this fat and long! I noticed in the back white fleshy things pop in and out, mabye genitals which is odd too. To make things weirder, today I find the cockroach with a puddle of milky white fluid coming out of its abdomen, and it's eating the fluid after! I have no idea what the heck is going on but here are photos if anyone has advice on this bizarre case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcep Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Pathogen infestation? Digestion disorder? I've no idea, but if I were you I'll definitely separate him from the rest of colony, maybe also change substrate/ clean container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 He has been with all the others all his life, no others have this problem so I don't think its anything contagious, and I regularly clean the cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Perhaps some sort of impaction or blockage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
