Hissing Cockroach
Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches are known for the hissing sound they can make, hence the name, and it happens in a rather odd way. They force air through spiracles, respiratory openings, on their abdomen. This hiss can be made to suit three different situations: disturbance, mating and fighting, but only males use the latter two.

Ideal Temperatures
They are indigenouse to tropical rain forest areas of Madagascar; therefore, it's crucial that they be provided a temperature range of 77°-82°F during the day and mid to high 70°F at night. This is necessary for the metabolism and immune system to function properly. If you want to induce breeding, keep low to mid 80°F.
