Yes, they are a good option. I would include them with other bugs as part of a varied diet if you can. The more variety you can provide, the better.

Thanks for the replys i try not to do so many crickets sense ny beardie is only about 2 months old so idont like having to scoop out crickets at night itry to only throw crickets in the morning so by the end of the day hes probably ate most of them and im feeding dubias aswell but sometimes there hard to comeby at my local petshops sense there always sold out of smalls...just started ordering then online tho gunna try and start a colony in the up coming weeks just never really heard about reptiworms and wanted to give then a try...am i suppose to dust those?
You don't need to dust the repti worms. They already have an adequate amount of calcium.
When you offer crickets, I suggest keeping them in cardboard tubes for toilet paper or paper towels to make them easy to shake out. I shake them into a cleaned yogurt cup with some supplement (anything similar will work) a few at a time and shake them gently. Then I let them out a few at a time so it's easy for me and my dragon to track them. I repeat this until he loses interest or after about 10 min or so, making sure I remove all remaining bugs after the meal time is over. Leaving bugs in the tank can let them hide and come out and bite your dragon overnight which can be an irritation if a few but if a lot are left they can do some real damage.
