Whats sweet and creamy on the inside but dark and crunchy on the outside?

Fuscus, sounds like your lunch. Don't forget the salt.

I'm more tring to give the impression of something like a cocolate cream

 

[bigguy]

You mean market it as a Roach Bar, crunchy on the outside, creamy in the middle and gives you that tickly feeling as it walks down your throat. YUM

My late 12 yr old Green Tree Frog used to love the big red Queensland roaches and used to roam the house hunting them down. As a result I could never use fly sprays or insecticides around the place, and like now with the snake it's put me in a good habit to avoid nasty chemicals like fly sprays etc. I really love the frogs.. simply awesome creatures!

Years ago, I worked for about six weeks in the kitchen at the surfers paradise beer garden and I was the only one brave (silly) enough to take the rubbish out to the bins out back. You couldn't touch anything because every surface was covered in cockies and every step you took made a crunchy sound.

Hey Fuscus, some of our roaches are cream coloured on the outside, when they shed their outer layer that is.

First time I went to feed cockies to my lizards I opened the container in their enclosure and the roaches all ran up the side and out. Not one remained in the enclosure. That was that. Fortunately they were woodies and I now have bountiful supply breeding around the back of the shed.

[RAZZA]

Best way to keep the roaches in is put a big smear of Vaseline all the way round the edge of whatever you are breeding them in. Take it down to about 1 1/2 ins inside. They can't crawl over the vaseline. Too greasy for em. Like someone trying to walk across a greasy pole LOL.

I tried boiling some up once, they taste terrible, unless you bother to fillet them, the tiny little fillets are really good!

 

[Fuscus]

Don't bother filleting them.
Stuck em in a blender and make patties.
Lightly fried.
YUM.

 

[Sdaji]

NO!!! EWW!!! They have stuff in them to make them taste bad, as a predator deterent! It works on me!!!
Luckily my herps don't seem to care

 

[Fuscus]

Sounds like you don't wash them properly first
