Yep , you got it.Woodies do shed =) They turn a white colour (almost albino looking) and they are very squishy.But after a few days they go back to normal and harden up.

Anytime

I love them when they are white! :p

Yes, crickets do that also
 
Make sure it is huamely killed before feeding it to a lizard they are particularly sensitive at this time and it would be cruel to feed it to a lizard while alive. They are awesome animals, give one a fish food pellet and you can watch them play rugby, they are quite smart to be able to pick up a human sport without even seeing it.
 
lol thats so cute chris about the rugby! LOL
i think i might just let it grow, i dont want to kill it and i dont want to be cruel.. so ill wait til it is older lol

thanks!

i had a white one. i was so weird. i thought something was wrong, but clearly it wasnt! you guys helped and i didnt even need to ask.:)
 
yeah when I first started breeding woodies I thought I'd stumbled across a rare albino one - then another, and another and finally I caught on to what was really happening!
For a few days though I had visions of having a new species named after me and becoming rich and famous in the insect world lol.
 
buttss- lol :D i have never seen one thats white (appart from the one i saw)and i havent even seen any skin...

lemonz-thats what we are here for :D

I don't see a smilie so I don't think you are kidding? So we're now supposed to kill freshly shed woodies humanely before feeding because they can't get away as easily???

Don't tell me, we should CO2 them? :shock::shock::shock:

We'll have to disagree on this one. ;)
 
falconby-- whats CO2 them?
yeh um, they are going to die anyway?
not going against cris or anything but thats my opinion

it means to use gas.But seriously why would u kill em? It's like killing 1 with no legs?
