If O. ecristatus shows up somewhere, it was incorrectly identified and is not really O. ecristatus (most likely due to coloration) or illegally imported (their native location has extreme limits on export). I have kept the species in the past and have never heard them hiss, nor have I heard of any properly identified specimen hissing.
adios,

Edit: There are a number which had been titled as O. ecristatus that after proper identification, have been proven to be of the Opisthacanthus genus. For more information, you can visit the Yahoo! scorpion groups.
