Blind Pet Roach Owner

If you ever get the opportunity I'd recommend handling a hickory horned devil caterpillar. Very interesting invert from a tactile perspective, and I find the scent and sounds associated with caterpillars chewing away at fresh leaves to be pleasant.

 
Ok, so I wasn't sure where to post this question.  So I'm just goint to post it here and hope someone knows the answer.

Does anybody have a better contact email or something for roachcrossing?  I emailed roachcrossing@gmail.com (the email that's on the website) about four days ago and haven't heard back.  I've read good things about Roachcrossing and wanted to possibly order some roaches, but now I'm wondering if i have the wrong contact info.  I mean, of course, he might be busy, but from what I've read it isn't really like him not to respond?  If anyone could help, I would be very appreiative@

Actually, lately he's been going through phases of not responding to people quickly, he's got a lot of stuff going on in his life, lately he's been more responsive though so he should hopefully write back to you soon. You can try messaging him on Facebook, he may write back faster over there. He's a really nice guy, and a pleasure doing business with, believe me. :)

https://www.facebook.com/kyle.kandilian?ref=br_rs is his personal profile.   If you friend him and message him that way that works well.   

 
I just did a trade with kyle I thought he didn't reply to me but turns out he still uses an @aol.com email and gmail considers anything from aol to be spam so I didn't know he had replied for like a week. As of this week he said hes also house hunting and packing for a expo. Busy busy guy lol

Right now, I just have the two wide horned hisser nymphs and an adult male g-portentosa.  Do any of you know when hissers start to hiss?

It would be interesting to see if the different spiecies of hisser could be identified by their hiss.

If some of you with different hisser breeds want to upload audio of your hissers, I can tell you if I think it might be possible to id via sound.

As for texture, the nymphs are just much softer than my audlt male, their legs haven't yet become rough.  WHen they are older, I will be able to tell you more about the texture differences I notice.

One of the reasons I chose wide horned hissers is because they are said to have a louder hiss, and I thought that would be fun.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Hello and welcome to the forum. 

I think that hissers start to hiss in their 4th or 5th instar, I read it somewhere but can't find it at the moment but will keep looking to confirm the exact time when they start hissing.  But Hissers have 6 instars so it is somewhere in the later instars that they start hissing.
