Gragrac Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My roaches finally arrived and I noticed one of them has a white underside with black spots. Is this rare? Or are they molting or something? Sorry if this is an annoying question, these are my first roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a "mixed bag" of hissers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
