small roaches as a staple diet? (Baby discoid and dubias) They can eat a staple diet of gutloaded mealworms right? I don't need to buy them cricets do I? (I hate crickets... They are so loud even when in another room.)

It would be better to keep your crocdile skinks on variable diet of crickets,mealworms, ive heard them eating nightcrawlers and roaches only if u buy them cuz wild roaches carry posion and other things on them because your reptile is what it eats or something like that.

I think they'd eat roaches. Mine love superworms and earthworms, though, and it's the most like what they eat in the wild.

U may also try feeder fish (guppies, goldfish, and such)

Thanks for the response. I guess I will keep mealworms and roaches for as food. Easy enough to do.

Now to get some red eye crocodile skinks.

"I hate crickets... They are so loud even when in another room."

??? I never hear the crickets. What size crickets do you buy? Small and medium sized crickets aren't developed enough to make any noise besides the occasional bounce off the side of their cage, and that's the size I usually feed my skinks.
