macbrush Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I always wonder, since my last direct encounter with a new molted nymph was a disaster, I never have the nerve to disturb any white roaches, I even put off maintenance for them. But I see people do it all the time. Would that hurt them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My newly-molted roaches often scurry to cover just like hardened ones, and I carry on with maintenance in all areas but the one its hiding at. You can handle them, just with extra caution and gentleness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so gentle and happened to have the camera right with me. All seemed well with it after transferring thankfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I wonder, if by chance the unthinkable happened, would it be possible to cast it in resin in that state, or would it actually harden and color out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindy Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hummm.. tough to think about, but after you said that, I have never seen a dead white one in my bins... perhaps even after death, right after, or during a molt, they harden and turn black. I bet someone has done some sort of research on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
