Could hornworms hurt dragons?

Hi all. I picked up a few hornworms the other day as I've seen how many dragons absolutely love them as treats. When I brought them home and took a good look at them, I was surprised to see they have these big stinger-looking things! So I did a quick search to see if they will sting or bite.

I found a few horror stories of hornworms biting chameleons or latching on and choking them on the way down. Are these things safe to feed to Cookie?

Yes but only if she can handle the size -- you dont want to feed her a worm that is too big --- they grow fast so make sure your feeding the size she can eat ---they are soft and a good hydrating worm -- if you have questions about the size post a pic of Cookie and the horn worm

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
