Severus Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Some of my friends are now becoming interested in cockroaches. I just have a few questions that they have asked me that I can't really answer. First, I have an idea of why, but why are they white after they molt, and how long does it take for, say, hissers to regain full color? Also, in a book one of my friends read that Cockroaches have two brains. True? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Cockroaches have one brain (supraesophageal ganglion). It takes a few hours for the color to return after the molt and involves a chemical tanning process. They aren't always white, Panchlora adults molt out light blue.
