I hope no one thinks this is a strange thing to have

So my father just got me some Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. They are so much fun to listen to at night and also very loud. I've had them before and only just got rid of all the babies from the first 3 a couple years ago. But i think i'm gonna keep these ones not sure what to do with all the babies though.

Anyway just thought i'de tell everyone about my new pets.

I used to work at a museum and one of my jobs was taking out the hissing cockroaches for the children to touch. They are pretty neat creatures. Pics would be cool.

I've seen a Fear Factor involving them. Sorry, not my cup of tea at all. Interesting pet though.

LOL I was going to suggest donating them to fear factor,they use them a lot.I also saw a CSI where they were turned into live jewelry!

Its a different kind of pet and it up to you if thats what you want!
It is definatly not my cup of tea either,but there are people out there that like rats and snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:14:

To each there own!I do want to see some pics of them!
Do they really make a soothing sound?

"Do they really make a soothing sound?"
Yeah as long as your not touching them when they make the sound and as long as your not right next to them when they start hissing because its very loud.
