ID Roach species

[island reptiles]

My friend found these in his dubia colony and gave them to me

they look like balberus colosseus or balberus peruvians

its a 1.2 group the females are about 10% larger and just over 2 inches (why I dont think they are colossseus)

Was it from repxotica? Just asking cause I bought dubia from them and some nymphs became these. It was a nice surprise for me, but some people would be upset if they were sold the wrong thing.

I always thought they were discoid but I'm not sure so I'm eager to know what they are too! Mine are all males

ahhh yes Discoids totally forgot about them.

It wasnt repxotica just a friend from queens area gave them to me at the show yesterday.

Mine burrow a lot you don't see them much, where dubia are always active it seems.

Yes I've owned Discoid and they look just like them.

Discoid are pretty slow to grow too, and very shy even adults hide.
