They kinda skeeve me out. Especially since they make noise. Gak. The idea of trying to go to sleep to the noise of sussurant cockroaches makes my neck hair stand up. Yuck.
It's funny---the noise doesn't bother me, but when I picked up the freshly molted one, she hissed and I got startled. For some reason I didn't expect the white one to hiss---or some part of my brain re-classified the white one as a different creature or something. It was totally unconcious.
I understand how the hissing works as a defence mechanism, at least the first time something tries to eat one.
