This is my little colony of 11 adult Madagascan hissing cockroaches. My 11 adults. 2 males and 9 females. They are in a 20g long tank.

Yes, they do make a hissing sound. I have been hissed at tons of times by the large male and few times by the others. They force air through the breathing pores (spiracles) found on their abdomen, usually when being disturbed or fighting.

Normally, I am terrified of cockroaches. These guys aren't so bad and are quickly becoming part of my "critter family". I'm still a little wicked out about holding them longer than a few seconds, but I do try handling them before feeding time and I'm getting better about it. They are very interesting.
