Re: Roach question
Babies stay pretty soft, right up until they reach about 1 1'2" long...then they really begin to toughen up. Until then, even though they are dark and look exactly like mini adults, they are quite soft. I have accidently squished a few trying to pick them up. They are extremely fragile right after a molt. If you think your female is carrying, make sure the tank is fairly warm all the time to ensure she will incubate the egg case properly. If she hasn't yet taken a fertile egg case, watch, particularly in the late evenings, early mornings and you might be able to see her...pardon the expression...suck it in. It will take approximately 3 months for her to give live birth. It will take longer if the temperature is not optimal. I included some pics for you-it really is amazing to witness!
