I found this roach among my crickets. It is not the standard palmetto Periplaneta americana...i don't think b/c the nymphs don't have wings and the adults have yellow circles on their thorax. It is also a slow mover that is definately different than palmettos. Anyone know the species?

I have no experiance with roaches other than the ones I keep as feeders. I have never seen a 'wild' roach in person.

All of my friend told me not to use it as feed to your tegu.

I have given my tegu Hissing Roaches and they have really sharp legs. He simply "chewed" it up by biting, spitting it out and repeating several times till it was softened.
