It will take many generations for those to be detoxified enough to use as a feeder... you are aware of that, yes ? Juuuuuust checking

hornworms are extremely difficult to raise. You have to get the worms to cocoon then when the moths hatch, they need a very large area for their mating flight, preferably something room sized.
If you really want to raise worms, you would be better off with silkies.

Edit: forgot to add that not only do you have to watch out for pesticide but the tomato plants they eat are toxic which in turn make the wormies toxic to feed to any animal. The horns you buy for reptiles have been raised on a artifical food much like silkworm chow.
