Dubia Colors

[Kreamcheese]

Yeah that was the plan. I decided against a ton of adults like you said cause of price and the possibility of them being old as hell

Hypopigmented I think is the word you were looking for Monster = )

I have a few adults that look like that, I'm not really sure what the deal is to be honest. Could be the result of humidity during the molt as mentioned, could be something else. Whats weird is the lack of any yellow pigment, maybe its Axanthic! Can you have an axanthic invert?? lol!

But really, I have no clue. I'd say it will be able to function just fine and make babies still...hopefully. I've only ever witnessed the color change from humidity errors in nymphs, so I've no clue what adults look like a as a result, and your humidity does seem fine. Maybe its a fluke, the one in the second picture is a prime example of an adult female dubia though.

time to separate that female, wait for a male to pop up, and start a whole new morph of roach!

Thanks for the info Jeff, your the man!

I have a male with the same exact colors. Maybe it is just a fluke but who knows.
