Here are some websites that I have ordered from and are good and they are out of silk worms but I think you can get roaches http://www.reptilianarts.com their silk worms come small in bulk like 50 you will need to order food and feed them daily along w/ cleaning containers out daily - their roaches come in a plastic cup w/ egg cartons in them I would order small -- you can keep roaches in a 10 gallon plastic tote or a 10 gallon aquarium - that is what I use - I feed dubia food along w/ carrots and squash for hydration
http://www.coastalsilkworms.com
http://www.mulberryfarms.com they are high on shipping
http://www.joshsfrogs.com I have not ordered from here but others on here have
http://www.abdragons.com
http://www.dubiaroaches.com they are not shipping as of now but do have good roaches and worms --
I would look at all the websites and see what you can get -- this site has small super worms and that is what he would need now - if you feed them only add like 1-3 to his salad
the more variety of a diet will make it balanced and you will find out what he likes the best
