Ozymandias Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 could you post pics of both the roaches and your set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Black spot under the legs... Sounds like maybe a bacterial attack? Molting damages are another possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sounds like they are just way too cold. Insect infections are pretty rare and unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
