to me roaches are just a feeding system for young tegus. just like crickets. they are just an alternative. like when a baby tegu eats mostly crickets, then you could feecd roaches. roaches are something i believe ou are supposed to ween your tegu off of like, a puppy. that way they can move on to more nutritios food items, and the occasional roach can be a snack for an adult tegu. so the main point is that when the tegu is young it can be a main part/ staple of the diet. but you should eventually try to switch your tegus over to better foods. hope this helps
