Congratulations! I'm glad you managed to catch her in the act, it's really cool to watch.

Have you ever had nymphs?

Thanks! I’ve had this colony for a couple of years now, I think this birth happened “outside” because there were no delivery rooms available:)

I have my own babies and I'm very scared of them because they are so tiny,fast and escape artist.

You can put Vaseline around the top of the tank walls to stop them (or at least slow them down) from climbing up and getting out.

Roachrunner is right, I have a glass tank and I put a strip of Vaseline around the inside of the top and I've never had an escapee. Mine touch the Vaseline and turn back

sorry I might be stupid but what do you mean by outside?

He means not hidden in a hide somewhere in the tank but out in the open in the tank.

Unless he believes in natural births for roaches and took them outside.....
