From the pics they look cool!! And hiss as well! I looked up Blaberus Giganteus and think you are spot on!! Should make a killer feeder for a big T at that size!!! An interesting note is they stridulate! This may be the hissing you are hearing! Madagascar hissers produce the hiss through their spherical(sp) breathing holes. Look to see if you see them rubbing body parts together when the hissing occurs. This may help greatly narrow down their identity but believe you are correct with Blaberus Giganteus!!!! Happy Spoodering with them killer feeders!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
