It looks like a fossil.

They are usually 7-9 cm, barely outside the range of Blaberus giganteus though I'd certainly love to keep them if only because the nymphs make a rattlesnake noise when disturbed.

Dang, nice looking roach! That's really cool that the nymphs can make a rattlesnake noise, Orin.
