My tokays are roughly 9" long and about 1-2 yrs old. Is it ok to feed them king meal worms or is the exoskeleton too hard to digest? If not king, maybe giant mealworms? I simply want to vary their diet.

To add variety to the diet, I think its OK.
Even though I am a bit uconfused about the english names.
Do you mean Superworms (Zophoba) or oversized anti ecdyson or otherwies ehormone treated mealworms?
Whehreas the first are a much better food than their reputation implies, I would be careful with the latter since the hormones fed to those worms may be active ligands for Nuclear receptors involved in Cholesterol homeostasis of lizards.

from my experience they do take them,you can also try pinkie mice.

They love pinkies and also roaches.

I am unsure of what type of food the "king" mealworms are fed. They look like the superworms that you described but I have no idea on how the latter looks like. A picture would be helpfull.
