Hehe, it freaked my wife out, but it cracks me up . They fill their lungs with air, and you can see them holding it, waiting... waiting, then if you move near them. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssss like a leaking baloon.

I don't provoke her, but when im cleaning she makes sure to let me know she doesnt appreciate it. Ive never had one strike at me that was hissing, it seems like either they strike to intimidate, or they hiss to intimidate.

It's funny how universal hissing is, I know cats, snakes, and probably some other animals do it
