my beardie goes for the large females from time to time and i have seen these long 1/2-3/4" tubes shoot out of them as she is chewing. i havnt had a chance to take a picture as she snaps them up too fast but i was curious if anyone knows what this is? intestinal tract, breeding pouch?

Probably their babies, whenever I feed an adult female dubia roach if they are pregnant generally the babies will be squeezed out of them.

that must be what it is then, wish i could keep them separate so she dosent hurt the colony by eating the unborn young...

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
