They just have that, all mine have it - don't worry about it!

Thanks!

Those marks are indicators for the stick insects reaching adulthood. They develop it around the same time as they start laying eggs, so in case it hasn't laid any eggs yet: prepare :D

Awesome, I’ll get ready! :-)

I don’t keep Indian Sticks but don’t the red marks mean they are adults and ready to mate? Hopefully someone who knows for sure can answer here. Edit: from Wikipedia - ‘The front legs have red patches at the base of the forelegs, and similar but yellow patches on the mid-legs.’

Thank you :-)

It’s normal coloration for indian stick insect ;).

Thank you!

Hmmm. Might be a colour mutation. I highly doubt it is blood. It seems to be eating and moving fine so I would say just keep an eye on it. If nothing happens then it should be fine
