What are you planning on feeding them too?? They have probably the hardest exoskeleton of any roach, so they don't make good feeders unless you're feeding them to something large that can handle the extra armor... centipedes over 8", T's at least 6", etc etc...

Heh, Speaking of Hissers, Today I was at the local Pet Store.. They had ONE hissing Cockroach, $8 For it!!!!!!!!!!

They claim they will meet and even beat anyones prices by %10 sooooo, I enjoyed telling them that I could get hissers online for Fifty cents :)

Lucky for them I didnt want to purchase the little guy
