No problem DC101! Let us know if you have any questions... I know there are other lobster roach keepers on this forum as well. Definitely one of the easiest roaches to culture = )

There are smaller species of hissers that are just as awesome and adorable as the Madagascaran counterparts ; )

For example, Elliptorhina chopardi (Dwarf Hisser) and Elliptorhina javanica.

I'm quite partial to my Elliptorhina javanica (AKA Javan Hissing Roach, AKA Halloween Hissing Roach). Adults max out around an inch and a half or so in length and they are absolutely gorgeous. They're fairly docile and being smaller they are not as spiky as the larger hisser species out there for handling purposes. They make for an excellent display roach and/or pet. Finally, I find them fairly prolific for a collector species... I started with 6 (3 pairs) and the colony seemed to pop up in no time. Here are some pictures of mine:
