What is coming out of the roach butt?

[MissSkittles]

It looks like a male if it is a dubia roach. The males have the wings the full length of their body. The females only have tiny wings.

I have discoids. Both sexes have full wings.

Sorry to say, but that would be my next feeder. No sense in letting it sit around with that hanging out.

The only animal I have big enough to eat a full sized roach is my male beardie…and he is a brat and refuses roaches.

Yea, I have too many breeding adults and need to get rid of a couple pairs I think.

Roachy roach butt update: The prolapse (or whatever) appears to have gone in at least by half if not more when I looked earlier in the night. Poor roachy is still moving around, although not as quickly as the others.

Fantastic! Now that its gone through some terrible suffering and has managed to recover its well fit to be eaten alive.

Ironically, now I have something similar looks like a stick about 3/4 of an inch long white coming out of the back. I’m wondering if these are eggs doesn’t quite look like yours

Egg case popped out (went back in later)

Discoid live birth - babies are white.

Yes, I have spent too much time looking at my roaches.

No…the adults just get to eat, poop and make babies until they pass naturally.

Those babies are so cute. I dunno why but when roaches are freshly molted they have no ick factor for me.

Yep that’s it. Woo hoo. Looks like I’m gonna get some babies.

I’m so hoping mine will breed more this summer! I’m thinking about getting a stronger heat mat and a thermostat so my dubia will breed more. I just have a little 4 watt mat on the side of the bin because it’s a small bin, a little smaller then like a 10 gallon fish tank, not one of the big black ones, but it isn’t getting to 90 degrees. I might even get a little bigger bin, a dark colored one. I heard the dark colored bins are better because the roaches like the dark.
