They are molting. The skin darkens after the new skin dries.

It sounds like your crickets are moulting. Once they shed their old exoskeleton, their new one is white until it hardens. Hope this helps.

You all Laugh now! However, I was close to a new beatle morph once...One of my super
mealworm beatles was a light Brown colour .
Turned out as it got older it went black. But Wow it was a close one.
Did i ever mention that I had a mouse that looked like a husky?



So remember he who laughs last laughs hardest

Make sure to seperate that cric with any luck you can find a mate.

Maybe you could cross one of those snow crickets with Brian's "Husky Morph" mouse. Gadzooks, the possibilities are endless.
