I have a beardie that is about 13 months, but he got tired of crickets so I switched to dubias. However, I am looking for another feeder to give him to change it up, I am wondering if silkworms would be a good one. (Background) He also gets a big salad daily and lives in a large 6ft tank. He is abt 18 in from nose to tip of tail, (tail is 10 in) any help is appreciated?
Silkworms?

Hornworms are quite expensive too, but their problem is they really don't last too long, and they grow and eat incredibly quick.
Nutritionally, hornworms aren't a bug you want as a staple feeder.
Some other feeders besides crickets and dubias would be
BSFL
Superworms
Mealworms
Butterworms (expensive too)
Silks aren't as expensive if you buy the eggs instead, but it can be a bit of a challenge and a time commitment to raise them.

Short of it is, they are safe IMO.
