Betta132 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 There seems to be a fairly large amount of variation among the species, depending on the source stock, and some of them are entirely brown and orange instead of having any black on them. Looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to start with some of those paler individuals and breed a light orange strain. Pumpkin roaches would be a neat variant of Halloween roaches. Plus, some of the lighter ones already have thin white bands, so it looks like it might be possible to eventually breed a pure white strain. Would this theoretically be possible?

Matttoadman Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have noticed this but only in the females. Therefore it would be hard since the males seem to not be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealBob Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I don't know much about roaches and morphs but I'm defenatly interested in any selection breeding process engaged, so if you do start one please please let us know and document it.

jared Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I combined Kyle's stock and Capecod roaches red pronotum stock to make specimens that are pale but have bold black and red colors. This is an interesting idea and I may try to breed for some of those traits you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
