Dubia Roach Eggsack Laying.

[thekooliest]

I just got a shipment of 200 mixed dubias.
And one of them had a pink thing coming out of their butts. I googled images of dubia roaches laying. And it turns out thats what I was seeing. Cool out.
I got a picture but don't have the time to put it on. I'll do it later.
Has anyone else seen this?

dubias give birth to nymphs (babies) I think what you were seeing was their birth canal which I have seen come out wen they get eaten. either that or they were defecating.

Yah was going to say the same thing. Dubias have live young.

That makes more sense. I know they lie live eggs...but i just saw a picture on google saying lying the eggsack.
Is it fine for them to do?
Or should I do something about it.

They give birth to live young via birth sac ... Phot Credit:dolphinsilversea01 from beardeddragon.org forum

Oothecae

acrtually the lay an egg case. When the egg case forms they then eject it from their body turn it around and insert it back in and keep the eggcase inside until its time for them to hatch. If the eggcase is hanging out for more than half hour it will not hatch.
