I bought ten peppered roaches fron James Tuttle last month. The first one molted to adult last night. It molted on a verticle piece of cork bark. It them crawled to the floor to rest anr dry out. I noticed the wings are kind of wrinkles this morning. I know these guys are known for bad molts.

Sorry...I was interupted about 5 times writting this.
My question is......I was wondering why the deformed wings. Plenty of verticle shedding space. Maybe they will be better after drying a bit but I doubt it...............

Sorry for the delayed response, but I needed a vacation. Anyway, if you are getting curved wings then you need more humidity. Larger winged species need lots of water for molting. Spray them more and check my email I sent you on substrate. I'm working on individual caresheets, but I just need more time. I'll send you another peppered when I have those craniifer ready for you.
Thx,
James
