I purchase discoid roaches online from an eBay seller in Puerto Rico, I get a great deal and my reptiles and tarantulas are all happy. Usually I get medium sized ones but this last order I decided on large sized. I’ve had them now for about a month, and had 2 mature into males… Except they look nothing like the discoid males I expected. I’m pretty sure these are dubias (which is great (sarcasm) cuz they’re illegal in Puerto Rico) but can someone confirm for me please? I’ve never had dubias cuz I live in Florida (where they’re also illegal). The pictures I find online, the pronotum doesn’t have patterning like this. I’d love it if they’re something that’s legal to keep here, but if they’re dubias I’ll just have to feed them all off and find another source. It’s not worth the risk to get in trouble with fwc.
