My local Petco sells dubia roaches but they sell them as spotted roaches. Whatever you want to call them I guess 
but they also sell what they call giant islander roaches. These guys are monsters, they have to be 3 1/2 inches long and I've joked their almost as big as a mouse. They look a lot like the madagascar hissing cockroaches and I looked up giant islander roaches and just got results for hissers so are the two the same thing? I've seen adult dubias in pictures that look pretty big and female dubias look a little bit like hissers but not quite. There's no way dubias can get that big right? And these islanders are sold only two per container at about $10 which is something I would expect and seems fair for hissers but seems way too expensive for even the biggest dubias two at a time. What are these guys? Are they just another name for madagascar hissing cockroaches?
