Female hissers can hiss but do it less often and if they don't hiss its because they are tame and used to being handled.

I wouldn't say that a roach could be "used to" something, much less that it could be "tame".

Tame wouldn't be the right word, but they do become habituated to certain things and insects do have the capability to learn and remember.. to a degree. My orange heads know where their feeding spots are in their bin and when I mess with the dishes in those spots many will come running out to check for food... prior to me handling or putting any food in the bin. I don't know if they've associated my scent with food or certain movements in the feeding areas.I haven't seen this behavior in my dubias, though I have seen similar in Parcoblatta spp.

 
ALL ANIMALS KNOW WHEN THEY ARE HUNGRY, SO LIKE MY CATS AND DOGS KNOW WHEN IM GOING TO FEED THEM. DONT YOU THINK A INSECT THAT HAS BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS ROACHES HAVE WOOD BE ABLE TO HEAR THE DOOR OPEN AND THINK/HOPE THAT YOUR GOING TO FEED THEM, AND SMELL THE GOODIES YOU MY HAVE FOR THEM. SO MAYBE ORANGE HEADS LIKE TO EAT MORE THEN DUBIAS? AND THATS WHY DUBIA DONT LOOK AS HARD FOR FOOD? I COULD BE WRONG.
