About those funky black abdomen lines

Yeah I’ve been posting a ton lately, but!! I just love my mantid boy and I love this community

I fed my mantid today and you know those black lines on a mantid’s abdomen? Well, on my boy, they’re more pinkish-red. I panicked for a bit, but I realized he’s still acting completely like himself and has been for the time I’ve had him. It’s been a good amount of time now and he’s still completely normal, so I think it’s just a little quirk with him that comes with how pale he is. 
Have any of y’all had pale mantids and noticed stuff like that? Or is it just my boy? 

That's normal. It just means that he's fat.

Just a few days ago he was digesting stuff so quickly I talked about him not gaining weight, now he’s a chubby boy. A finicky little lad, I gotta say!
