Fwiw many of my herps never really took to superworms, not sure about silkworms though. Only my tegu, but he'd eat about anything. I did have a mountain horned dragon who loved worms (nightcrawlers) and slugs.
i feed my bearded mealworms, pheniox worms, night crawlers, crickets, and silkworms. a veried diet is best for any herp. straight crickets is ok i quess but not ideal
I to have to ask why you can't do roaches Girl friend, wife ? just go to Walmart buy a plastic tub with a lid mabye a seal of some kind to make sure its a tight seal fill it with old egg cartens food and water and slide it into a crawl space or the back of a closet and problem solved if they ask its old aquarium stuff

Call them by their scientific name or just call them beetles. That's what I do and the wife hasn't caught on yet.
ive thought about getting them and not telling anyone, but id rather not get into that whole mess.
It really mystifies me that people go crazy when they hear the word roach. They need to understand it's not the same pest species you find in run down apartments etc. My mom's perfectly fine with crickets, even though they smell terrible, make noise, and god forbid they escape... Dubias are silent, no odor, can't climb nor fly, and can't survive past their first molt if they escape.
Oh well. Some people.
