I have no experince or actual knowledge what so ever, but according to wikipedia, it's not recommended to feed them to lizards and "such pets".

"They are sometimes caught and fed to pets such as lizards, but this is not recommended since those animals might become poisoned."
It had a reference, you might want to check it out.

Ok thanks l plan on collecting some more and start breeding them for toads

Make sure to remember this part:

"They do contain quite a bit of chitin, so are not suitable as the sole item in a diet."

Good luck!
