This is my giant madagascan hissing cockroach! It is a male and his name is Max. I f you are looking for a exotic pet I would recomend this as your pet as it is a very good begginers pet and they are easy to look after because they do not involve much holding, cleaning but they do require weekly food. You can hold them if you like as they do not bite and its always good to give them a bit of exercise, But beware of the hissssssssssss!!!!!!!!
