Hi, I have a colony I set up about 3 months ago and have just began feeding out of it. When I need some roaches I just grab them by the mid rear area, one by one. I've noticed that they often get "wet" and it kind of leaves my finger stinky too. I figured they are releasing waste as a defense mechanism, but today it appeared one was actually spitting up on me? I haven't found any info that touches on this. Anybody know what it is?

It almost sounds like you might be squeezing them to hard and their guts are coming out. They are fairly fragile.
