Well recently i got some live roaches from a pet store and im having trouble identifying them , perhaps the most similar thing i could find was surinam roaches but i heard that they could climb and these
guys dont seem to be able to

heres a pic , to the left are two
Turkistan roaches i bought frozen ,oh and also im pretty sure its fully grown as my colony is breeding
and that is about as big as they get

Also , they have much shorter legs than the turkistan roaches , just in case it isnt visible

Pycnoscelus surinamensis adults can climb many surfaces, but nymphs can't.

B. lateralis, B. orientalis (which seems unlikely, since they aren't usually a feeder species, but that's my best guess), and a juvenile Pycnoscelus sp. (could be a female femapterus, could be a juvenile nigra/surinamensis, could be indica, the sexually reproductive sister species of surinamensis).

The two on the side are both B.lateralis that i put there for size comparison
