I used to keep hissing roaches, and one evening caught one molting - I thought it was pretty cool!
Yeah, I know I recently posted about burning my house down because I saw a roach - but hissing roaches are WAY different than the icky ones. I used to keep these as pets. I ended up selling the whole colony because the dang things bred faster than I could feed them off, no matter how cool I kept them, and it became a hassle. They were so fun though, and I'd made their tank bioactive (which, now that I think about it, might have been part of the problem...).
Anyway, here's a video of one of the big girls molting. It's pretty neat!
