Look about halfway down the page. There is a great thread with a lot of information on silkworms.
I always try to find what I'm looking for in previous posts before I start a thread about it. Just a suggestion.

Been feeding my dragon silkworms for about 5 months now. They are far superior than crickets, easy to keep, don't smell, don't make noise, and don't excape! (heck, drop on on the floor and it's a really good chance it will be there in an hour).
They are more nutricious than crickets (about 3 times, only surpased by hornworms for calcium content). You can feed the one inch silks or smaller to a 7 1/2" dragon without any problems. Their soft bodies digest alot easier than crickets and thus, you can get away with feeding them silkworms that are a little bigger than the space between their eyes. Also, you don't need to feed them as much silkworms as crickets. (6-9 silkworms per feeding for 1" worms for my 17 inch dragon).
