Goliathus Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 That's the color they normally have for a short while after having molted. If they remain that color permanently however, that would definitely be unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunranD Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 @Goliathus yes... She has had this color for over two years now. Definitely not freshly molted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliathus Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Very interesting - I've seen color aberrations in various other insects, but not in a rhino roach. Is her exoskeleton just as solid as in a regularly-colored one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunranD Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 @Goliathus I would say yes.. I don't have any other at her size to compare her with since she is the lone surviver of her clutch.. but her shell is not thin or soft by any means.

Could be a morph, live w/ reptiles or certain roach species. Check out (https://www.roachforum.com/?_fromLogin=1) for more advice. You need to breed it when it gets older and see what happens. If it's genetic, then you've got a new morph on your hand. After a few generations, you could even sell them. I'm sure Kyle at (roachcrossing.com) would love to get some. It would be a definite plus for the hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
