Lazy cockroaches (zzz)

Second Instar
After my cockroach eats a large amount of food, he’s not his hyper, spunky self. He’s just... there. Is he just digesting or something? My female never does this after she eats. Lately, I’ve been calling him “Marcus the python” because he just sorta lounges about after he eats. Anybody here whose roaches do this?

 
That's good.

I'm not sure what is happening, but your python idea seems plausible. Another possibility is that the roach is instinctively unwilling to leave its shelter after eating its fill, because this would cause increased predation risk outdoors.
