Recently I found a good website to order my roaches from, however I’m not sure which kind to order.
Adult Male (Small) or
Adult Male (Large)?
It seems like it’s referring to the size, which I would order Large. But my friend said it was referring to age, as in the Smalls are just young adults. I’m not sure what to think at this point. Anyone have any clue?
(It also does not say anything about that in the description of the item)

Try sending the seller a message asking about this, or if they're not very familiar with roaches, see if they'll send you a picture of them.

Adult hissers can vary wildly in size depending on the nutrition and space they received as nymphs. In crowded conditions where food competition is more intense, adults will usually come out smaller, though you'll still often get some larger adults as well. So, when they're selling small and large adults, they likely mean just that, small and large adults.
