Raphael1047 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hello, I was told that this was the place to go to get some answers from several roach experts. Anyway i posted thread on the chameleon forums a few days ago and got lots of opinions on what thery actually are. I got mostly cuban brown burrowing roach opinions, but also hybrids. Here is a link to that: http://www.chameleonforums.com/true-dubia-color-morph-96021/ The guy i bought him from only sells dubias and also said he has some morphs in his colonies although i think mine are a more noticeable difference when it comes to color. I was wondering is this rare to see color changes like this? Also do you have any color morphs in your colonies. Here are some pictures.

Zander Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 They look like blaberus fusca hybrids to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael1047 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 They look like blaberus fusca hybrids to me. I got them at dubideli.com , so i a really sure they are dubias. Also i have regular dubias just a few are light brown. Thanks for your opinion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your opinion though! I think Zander may have been joking since your photos look nothing like Blaberus. That's a very nice looking male Blaptica with a hypomelanistic coloration (if it didn't molt recently) that should be bred for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Orin is right that's a dubia with very unusual light coloring, that's the lightest I've ever seen! I had a male with lots of red coloring here is a photo http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/71337983@N05/6450675585/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The male shown has not molted recently and I am breeding them for that color. The females don't really show the coloration, but i am seeing more and more of these colors in my colonies. The nymphs are changing colors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
