Superworms should be great for him if he is 16 inches... wow... I powerfed my male for about the last 4 months or so... and at 8 months, he is still about 13 inches... you must have done something different. Good job. Silkworms are the best feeder insect for beardies and other lizards, but as such, they cost twice as much as other feeder insects for the same number or even less. They are still very healthy, and once they grow up, you end up feeding more food, but less insects...
Waxworms are good for fishing bait and an occasional treat for your dragon, as they are very fattenning... If you do feed them, buy from a live bait store, but only about a dozen at a time. If you keep them in the fridge, they will stay alive AND not morph into coccoons
