Hi,
Just to say that a while ago I started a couple of colonies of large roaches for my tegu. These are Madagscar hissers Gromphadorhina portentosa and giant cave roaches Blaberus giganteus.
I find that my tegu isn't too keen on the adult giganteus but likes the large nymphs. He likes the hissers - they don't half crunch!
Both species took a while to get going, but after a few months they are going great. Really easy to keep, never escape and good nutritious snack food for tegus...
Mark.
