cricket colors?

[jaredg87]

I was reading a post where someone said when feeding crickets not to use the white ones......
I am curious if i am buying all my crickets from the same place and most are brownish but there are the occasional white crickets.(out of 50 crickets theres like one or two whites)
Whats the difference? if any?

Wait a day and the white one will turn brown, it is just a freshly molted cricket they are white for a day or so. They are fine to feed, acctually very soft and can be easier for the cham to eat.

I have been breeding crickets for quite some time now and some of mine are a real light tan. The ALL white ones are ones that just molted.(would be better because of the soft body). Then others are really dark brown. I've fed both without incident. Hope this helps.
