So i was checking on the status of my lobster roach colony that i have left alone for some weeks now and i noticed a small one that was completely white with a black spot in the middle of it! It was really cool looking but unfortunately i couldnt catch it for a picture. Is this rare? It was so white it was weird, like snow white! Also to feed these guys i mixed up a bunch of fruits and cat food is that cool? This is what i mixed up into a goo which i feed them on a tray in the cage....

Red raspberries
apples
bannanas
cat food

i mixed this all up into a mush and then i feed them it and keep the rest frozen. thaw some out every couple days to feed them. Mist the cage once a week or so. Sound ok?

I tricked my mom into thinking I had an albino roach because it had just molted :) Those are the only white roaches I have heard of.

it just came out of a molt that's why it's white. give it like 1-2 hours and it'll darken up again.

ivory roaches, giant roaches, hissing roaches.
for some people, all they can hear is the word roach and they'll scatter.

I hope I will be there for the comic con this summer! I'm sure my white-out roach would be dead by then, tho. :(
