oh and do they always look colourless when they're molted, or might I have albinos?
It's not uncommon for g. portentosa to hit or go slightly over 2.5". However, when they exhibit a deep red colouration and max out 2.5" consistently in a colony that they are in fact g. oblongata. *I need to get my hands on these...*
As for the colourless, after molts they are pure white with black eyes, and they color can take from an hour to a day to return.

Speaking of roaches guys, I just got a bunch of new species in today. I'm going to let them settle in before I disrupt them, so pics should come tomorrow or Wednesday. :P
